About Us

Welcome to Eastside Village! We’re more than 220 neighbors in East Portland over the age of 55 who are helping each other stay active, independent, and connected. While most of us are seniors, membership is open to all residents who are at least 18 years old.  

We’re part of the national Villages movement that’s reshaping aging in the U.S. It began with Beacon Hill Village in Boston in 2002 and now includes more than 350 Villages, all linked by the Village-to-Village Network. Each one is a grassroots, volunteer-driven community built on friendship and mutual support.

We celebrate the diversity of our community. --- Everyone is welcome at Eastside Village. We strive to create a space where all feel they belong, regardless of race, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, income, or ability. We work actively to remove barriers so everyone can thrive.
