SFvillage

San Francisco Village is a nonprofit, membership organization that connects older San Franciscans to the community, programming and expertise they need to continue living lives of purpose and meaning. We believe relationships across generations are life changing. Every day, we foster the connections that keep our members engaged, curious and giving back, whether by mentoring a young person, tackling the latest technology or simply sharing their personal stories. Because when older adults value themselves, and are valued by their community, we ALL benefit and create a better experience of aging than the one we have known before.
