Ashby Village is a vibrant East Bay nonprofit organization that connects older adults with each other and resources to age well in the places they call home and to engage in their communities. We’re committed to building an inclusive organization and culture that advances access to practical services and social and cultural programs for older adults from all backgrounds and economic means. We’re aging together with dignity, purpose, and self-determination in the diverse, multi-generational communities we cherish.
