About Us

Our Vision

To be a constructive force in fostering inclusivity and meaningful aging in the community.

Our Mission

The mission of Edgewater Village Chicago is to engage and support older adults, enhancing their quality of life as they age, so they remain active and contributing members of the community.

Edgewater Village Chicago is a volunteer-led, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is open to any Chicago resident. There is no membership fee, and most of our programs are free. We began in 2016 in partnership with the City of Chicago’s Area Agency on Aging and are one of 20 villages associated with the city’s senior satellite centers.
