The Rainbow Network group meets monthly to discuss LGBTQSGL inclusion (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, same gender loving).

This group offers Villages a safe space to ask questions, get feedback from other Villages, learn more about LGBTQSGL topics, understand the needs and challenges members may face, and help identify actions to enhance inclusivity and affirmation of LGBTQSGL individuals. Meetings generally include time for pre-determined topic conversations and open discussion. All Villages are encouraged to participate.

Join us on the second Monday each month for workshops and discussions on topics of interest to Villages. This series of dynamic workshops is designed to help Villages unlock their full potential, fostering growth, innovation, and sustainable success. Each workshop is tailored to address key areas of development—leadership, communication, team collaboration, strategic thinking, and change management—enabling teams to thrive in a rapidly evolving environment. The workshops provide practical tools, strategies, and frameworks that can be immediately applied to real-world challenges, with a focus on creating a culture of continuous improvement and adaptive resilience.

All Village to Village Network Members are invited to join us on a monthly call to talk about the important topic of supporting our most frail members. As the society ages, it is inevitable that our membership will age as well, so whether your Village is currently serving frail members or preparing to serve them, we will use this monthly call to unpack this complicated programming consideration.

Topics open to discussion include, but are not limited to: developing a volunteer-based care coordination system, creating healthy boundaries for member service delivery, setting realistic expectations for members and their families, coordinating with local community resources, when to make a referral to Adult Protective Services, etc. Please come with your questions and we will try to address as much as we can in the hour we have.

Note: If you have any questions or comments about Frail Members, please contact vtv@vtvnetwork.org.

This is the meeting of the Board of Directors for Village to Village Network.

TrustedRiders - Bridging the Transportation Gap to Help Vulnerable Seniors Get All the Places They Want to Go Safely and Securely 

TrustedRiders, a nationally proven Volunteer Chaperone aging-in-place transportation and temporary caregiving initiative, supports local programs to send out trained volunteers to escort vulnerable people to and from anyplace they need or want to go - door-through-door and at the destination if requested - uniquely Making ANY available transport ACCESSIBLE, from rideshare, community transportation, public transportation, and driver services where the driver must park and/or stay with the car.

Bridging a gap in transportation to healthcare and essential services, TrustedRiders can provide local Villages a low-cost, site-tested program including an online Training and Certification process, a TrustedRiders Scheduler and App, administrative playbooks, standards for safety and communication, and ongoing consulting assistance from nationally experienced human service professionals.

TrustedRiders has helped obtain HHS Community Care Corps, AmeriCorps Seniors and other funding of over $5 million in 6 years of operation in 18 sites, 16 states, in partnership with community organizations and healthcare providers. A new CCC grant has just been announced, for which Villages would be eligible.
