Interested in Starting a Village?
Avenidas receives many requests from people all over the country about how to start a village in their community. Most villages are organized as independent nonprofit organizations. However, Avenidas Village is one program offered by a large, well-established senior services organization. If you represent an organization interested in forming a village as part of its services, our experience will be particularly relevant. If you represent a group of individuals, our experience may be less helpful but we welcome your inquiry.
Before you contact us, we encourage you to review the information available at www.beaconhillvillage.org, which includes a listing of villages that are forming, and to download and review the materials below. You may also find it helpful to join the Beacon Hill online discussion group. To contact us, please e-mail Lisa Hendrickson, Avenidas CEO, at .
