Creating Community Connections
Mission
North Bethesda Village is a grassroots community organization in which neighbors come together to provide mutual support and assistance, as well as to foster social connections through various planned, shared activities.
North Bethesda Village encompasses the 20852 zip code of Montgomery County, Maryland.
What is a Village?
Villages are local, volunteer-led, grassroots organizations that aim to support community members, especially those who choose to age in place. They foster social connections through activities and events and coordinate volunteer help at home using a neighbor helping neighbor model.
There are close to 200 villages in the nation and around fifty in the DC metro region.
Each village is unique and reflects the character, interests, and needs of its community.
Many villages focus exclusively on older adults, although there are those that are designed as an intergenerational model serving all members of the community. Some villages have paid staff in addition to volunteers and charge a membership fee; others are run by volunteers and have no fee.
Who Creates the Village?
People like you! Villages are created by residents of the community who have a vision for an improved quality of life for all. Every new Village starts with a dedicated core of individuals ready and willing to make that vision a reality. This is not one person's job but a community effort.
