What is the Chicago Area Villages Collaborative?
There are eight “Villages” in the Chicago area, all part of the international
Village Movement—grassroots organizations of older adults designed to help people age and thrive in their communities. Each Village reflects its community and leadership. We invite you to contact a Village
