Welcome to Ashby Village!
Ashby Village is a vibrant community built by and for older adults from different backgrounds and lived experiences. We're dedicated to the neighborly practice of helping each other stay connected
and navigate life’s curves to make aging easier, enriching and fun.

With the support of volunteers that span five generations, we're living with purpose and self-determination in the diverse, multi-generational neighborhoods we call home. 

Together, we're committed to building an inclusive membership organization and culture that advances access to practical services, support, and social programs for older adults from all backgrounds and economic means.

We're transforming how we age.


Members of our thriving village community live in
Albany, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Emeryville, Kensington, Oakland, and Richmond.
