WELCOME TO NEXT VILLAGE SAN FRANCISCO
NEXT Village SF is a neighborhood nonprofit providing services and support that empower members to live independently in their own homes as they age. Our volunteers and staff work together to enrich, enhance, and nourish the lives of seniors in our community. As a vibrant, growing network for aging adults in northeast San Francisco, NEXT Village SF is a connection you can count on. Everyday, we work to build caring communities that dignify aging and honor our desire to age in the place we call home.
At NEXT Village, we believe in the power of community to achieve society-wide change in the way we age. In times of crisis, community is more important than ever. During the COVID-19 pandemic, more seniors have been willing to accept help to stay safe and we are grateful to support them.
We know that sheltering in place has been particularly difficult and isolating for older adults, so NEXT Village has increased our efforts to keep members engaged, connected, and supported. We provide assistance with grocery and medication pick up, remote tech support, check in calls, and a wide variety of events accessible online or by phone so you can learn new things, have fun and “see” your friends safely during these challenging times.
We invite you to:
