BUILT BY OUR MEMBERS, FOR OUR MEMBERS

GNV is a non-profit, member-supported organization led by a Board of Directors. Greater Niles Villagers will determine what we do and design how we do it. There are many opportunities:

  • organize and enjoy social activities based on our interests; provide and participate in educational programs;
  • develop and utilize GNV’s screened list of businesses and service providers;
  • design and provide a selection of individualized services; and
  • coordinate community volunteers.

Every Villager is essential to making our Village a powerful and purposeful space for learning and laughter as we navigate the challenges of aging. Your skills and expertise are currently needed for these activities.

Villages operate on the concept of reciprocity—neighbors helping neighbors—members and community volunteers sharing expertise and skills. Volunteers may serve on the Board of Directors, Teams and/or as Helping Hands.

Call Managers respond to Service Requests made by phone or email. Service Providers are Members and Community Volunteers who provide direct services to members.
