“The mission of the seacoast village project is to create a community of older adults who work together to improve their odds of being able to grow older in their homes and communities by getting connected, getting smart and helping each other out.”

“"get connected" programs: we expanded and diversified our outreach and educational offerings, building our membership base to 220 with the support of active volunteers and part-time staff for communication and administration. One of the village's most important strategic priorities for 2023 was cultivating and developing cluster (service area) leadership. This year, more members from each of the village's clusters offered to host local events and to serve in leadership positions on the board of directors, board committees, and village teams. Monthly e-newletters (printed as requested) and website updates continue to provide consistent information about upcoming programs with easy registration options and information about other programs in the community serving older adults.”

“"help each other out" programs: cluster development - growth in all areas. The neighbor-helping-neighbor volunteer model is the backbone of the village concept. A strong base of support for members is critical, and must be able to adjust as needs and abilities change over time. In addition to ongoing expenses for recruiting, vetting, and background checks for volunteers, we launched a new health support team to help members encounter health and human service challenges. This team is comprised of village members who are retired doctors, nurses, social workers, and other healthcare professionals, as well as members who are caregivers and experienced healthcare consumers.”

“"get smart" programs: we provide valuable educational activities and links to university of new hampshire faculty and students to our members, empowering them to learn about healthy aging and steps that should be taken to prepare for aging in place. We planned and hosted 27 educational/enrichment programs, including our popular lunch & learn series, now in its third year. We also continue to build and enrich our volunteer training so that specialized volunteers on our health support team can provide effective help to members when problems arise. Expenses include costs for vetting and training volunteers, supplies, venue costs, and hospitality/event support. We secured some no-cost/discounted/donated venues and professional speakers, and volunteers provided 1,485 hours of service to support these programs.”
