Welcome to SLO Village Movement
At SLO Village Movement (SVM), we’re reimagining what it means to age together in community. As a nonprofit, membership-based organization, we help older adults stay engaged, supported, and connected through neighborly assistance, enriching social gatherings, and helpful services.
Our vision is simple and powerful:
To create an age-friendly movement where all stages of life offer meaningful opportunities for growth, connection, and joy.
Whether you're looking for community, a helping hand, meaningful activities, or just a friendly face, we're here for you!
If you’re visiting for the first time, we invite you to explore our About page to learn more about the Village model or watch Village Movement California’s video for a broader introduction to the statewide movement.
If you’re ready to get involved, we’d love to have you join us as a Member, Volunteer or Community Partner to help strengthen the connections that make our community thrive. If you have questions or want to learn more, we’re happy to talk.
Call (805) 242-6440 or email [email protected] anytime.
Staying Vertical
SVM collaborates with established nonprofits, senior centers, service partners and government agencies in our community. It is a top priority to communicate and help you navigate the many resources and services available for older adults throughout SLO County.
Social Connection - the key to health and longevity!
Today, loneliness and isolation is epidemic across all age groups. Whether you prefer a casual social gathering, fun and meaningful discussions, educational seminars, or a shared interest group, SVM is here to enrich your life by creating strong social ties. Come connect with us and meet the heart and soul of our community.

We're Setting Sail for the Coast!
As we celebrate our 10-year Anniversary, SLO Village Movement members, volunteers, staff and Board of Directors are setting our expansion sites on Morro Bay, Los Osos-Baywood, Avila Beach, and Five Cities. As we expand our outreach along the coast, we're excited to strengthen relationships and support older adults in these communities.
To better serve our coastal neighbors, we need more volunteers who live in or near these areas. Our SVM volunteers make a meaningful difference by supporting older adults in ways that match their skills, interests, and availability. Whether you enjoy driving, running errands, helping with small household tasks, or simply spending time in conversation, your volunteer service helps neighbors remain connected, independent, and engaged.
