Greater Niles Village is Aging. Better. Through membership in GNV, we create a vibrant community of neighbors who share skills and support with each other to navigate the challenges and opportunities of aging. Join us in the purposeful and powerful space for learning, laughter and courage as we take on the future.

Villages flourish when each and every member contributes their time, energy and life experience to create activities for fellow Villagers. GNV events developed and organized by Villagers include:
- Members’ Socials are roundtable discussions about important issues related to aging, such as Housing, Caregiving and Rightsizing.
- Special Interest Groups meet regularly for a specific activity, e.g. Book Club, Culture Club, Grabberwalkie Garbage Gang, Memoir Writing, See It on the Big Screen and Take Charge of Your Tech.
- Gatherings are educational sessions delivered by an expert speaker—Solo Aging, Nuclear Power, Self-Driving Cars, Reducing Carbon Footprint, and Medicare.
Join us in AGING. BETTER. | GET INVOLVED!
