Community Connection’s vision is to create a community culture where people contribute their skills and talents and in turn have access to support, resources and educational opportunities to meet their needs and interests.
Like a match made in heaven, villages and Age-Friendly Cities share a vision for creating a world in which we would like to grow older.
A village works in partnership with a local hospital to reduce readmission rates and ensure better health outcomes for their patients.
ChaiVillageLA is the first synagogue-based village in the country, a bold partnership of two cutting-edge Reform synagogues — Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills and Temple Isaiah — to challenge their congregants to rethink their paradigms of aging and use their accumulated experience, talents, wisdom and creativity to build a community of mutual respect, support, caring and concern. In ChaiVillageLA there is no distinction between members and volunteers. Rather, all members are expected to contribute approximately four hours per month to the health and vitality of the community. Service can be in a variety of forms, including serving on a committee, working in the office, organizing an interest group or program, or providing assistance to a fellow member.
