Social isolation is deadly for seniors! Human beings are social creatures. Our connection to others enables us to survive and thrive. Yet, as we age, many of us are alone more often than when we were younger, leaving us vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness-and related health problems such as cognitive decline, depression, and heart disease.
Due to COVID-19 many seniors are not comfortable attending indoor events and activities. Since they may not have computers, we need activities that are not virtual, but can be done either outdoors, by car or in their home.
- Work with Village members to organize activities based on their interests.
- Assure that new and ongoing activities are publicized in the newsletter and activity calendar
- Coordinate with Village Council members and other teams as necessary
- Work from home with occasional meetings with Village members and volunteers
This team member must be over 18, have enthusiasm for setting up activities for seniors, a basic knowledge of current office programs (e.g., Word and Excel), and good organizational skills. A background check is required.

Mission Statement
● Community. We believe that strong social connections are a vital part of living well and aging brilliantly. ● Inclusion. We welcome and respect people of all races, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientations, economic situations, and abilities. ● Collaboration. We believe that working together and caring for each other makes our lives richer and more interesting. As a Village, we are stronger than we are as individuals. ● Contribution. We believe that each member of our community can benefit from the skills, experiences, and perspectives of the others. We encourage every member and volunteer to bring their own unique qualities and capabilities to the table.
