Welcome to Edgewater Village Chicago!

 

If you're looking for a way to connect with or give back to the community, continue to learn, meet new people and just have fun, then you’ve come to the right place. We're a grassroots, volunteer, nonprofit organization of older adults (50+) who are helping each other stay connected and make a positive difference in the lives of our neighbors.

We're one of about 20 villages in Chicago and among hundreds across the country. Each village determines its own mission and focus. Our focus is on outreach to Chicago's Edgewater community and other nearby neighborhoods on the Far North Side of the city. We don't have a membership fee, our programs are free and we welcome everyone interested to participate. Visit our about us page to learn more.

During the pandemic, we “gathered” on Zoom for our programs and social events. This allowed us to reach participants beyond our neighborhoods — even to other states. Now we have some in-person events and some continue on Zoom. We invite you to look through our programs, check out our resources page for practical information and consider how to become involved or partner with us. Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter to learn more about our activities. Welcome!
