This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, help us launch vital #caregiving programs for dementia support & resources for village volunteers. Donate Today: https://lnkd.in/gqhfJE4Y
关于我们
Village Movement California is a coalition of 45 grassroots community organizations called villages. Together with our partners, we seek to revolutionize the experience of aging. At Village Movement California we believe in the power of community to achieve society-wide change in the way we age. Every day, we lead the way for our movement with the proven tools, connections and visibility so that villages—and in turn Californians—can thrive. Because when we join forces, we ensure that all Californians have access to vibrant communities that enhance and expand the ways we can age well. Together we can make so much more progress than we can ever achieve alone.
