| Description: |
May 15, 2018 - Neighborhood Village leaders from Beacon Hill, Jamaica Plain, and Groton spoke to an audience of seniors and interested community members about what it takes to organize and run a Village. At the forum, people discussed a range of ideas and practical steps to achieve this in Dorchester.
The Village model, pioneered by Beacon Hill Village in Boston, was created so neighbors could work together to create resources and opportunities for leading vibrant, active and healthy lifestyles as they grow older in their own homes. Villages coordinate access to affordable services and create a social fabric of mutual support. |
