Elders Village Wins Grant From ‘Coming of Age’

We are pleased to announce that Elders Village, the nonprofit organization that works closely with Phoenix Commons on education and training, has been awarded a $2,500 grant from Coming of Age, a national organization that helps 50+ seniors explore their futures, make new connections, and contribute to the common good. This Making A Big Difference grant will allow Elders Village to train and support senior volunteers, who will act as peer counselors to seniors on limited income interested in achieving a financially and socially sustainable retirement through cooperative housing.

We encourage anyone interested in volunteering as a senior peer counselor to contact the Elders Village office at (510) 217-8527. Elders Village is looking for potential volunteers in the Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, and San Leandro areas, so call today and find out how you can make a big difference in the lives of fellow seniors!

Phoenix Commons congratulates Elders Village on the grant award – Well done!
