Membership for the SLO Village movement 

*Serving older adults (50 or older) in SLO County - Currently excluding the city of Nipomo.

 

Are you interested in becoming a member of the SLO Village movement?

SLO Village is a membership organization where older adults come together to support one another and build meaningful connections.

Whether you’re looking for a helping hand with everyday tasks, a friendly chat, or a way to connect through social activities, we’re here to make sure you feel supported — just like members of a close-knit community or neighborhood. We like to call it step one to 'interdependence'!

 

Our Membership Options:

We offer two types of membership:

  1. Social Membership (All Ages)
    This membership gives you access to all of our events, activities (coffee chats & lunch), and our preferred professional services list. It’s available for $250 annually for an individual or $375 annually for a household (two people at the same address).

  2. Full Membership (Local residents of SLO County, excluding Nipomo, age 50+)
    As a Full Member, you’ll have access to everything offered with a Social Membership, plus volunteer support services from vetted volunteers. It's available for $500 annually for an individual and $750 annually for a household (two people at the same address). These services are based on availability and the skills of our volunteers, and can include: 

    • Transportation to personal and medical appointments
    • Technology support with smart devices from phones, computers, and other electronic types of equipment
    • Handy help like light repairs like changing a lightbulb or checking out a leaky faucet 
    • Small gardening projects like trimming a couple of rose bushes or racking up leaves
    • Grocery Shopping assistance to help with your essentials
    • and More!

 

How to Become a Full Member

If you’re interested in joining as a Full Member, please complete the information form, and a member of our staff will be in touch with the next steps. Please allow 2-3 weeks for the onboarding process for your Full Membership.

Scholarships Available

We understand that some individuals may need financial assistance, and we’re committed to ensuring that all older adults have the opportunity to benefit from our community. Scholarships are available for those who are eligible.
