Circle of Leadership
The Circle of Leadership keeps our mission moving—from program design and elder hospitality to partnerships and accountability. Together, we listen to community wisdom and steward the resources that make gatherings possible.
Each leader brings deep cultural knowledge, professional expertise, and a commitment to centering elders in every decision. We keep our circle collaborative and transparent so the Village feels like home for everyone who enters.
