Membership Benefits



An annual membership can connect you to others in your community, simplify your life, reduce your stress, and keep you mobile. The benefits include confidence, social contacts, independence, and peace of mind.

 

Village membership contributes to overall life satisfaction and provides opportunities to give, not just receive.

Build community by connecting with others
Whether you’ve spent a lifetime in Aloha, Cornelius, Forest Grove or Hillsboro, or are new in town, membership offers you the opportunity to expand your social circle and join with others who believe a better experience of aging is possible when we engage with and rely on each other.  

Participate in and help plan Village activities and events
The energy and involvement of members enables the Village to offer a lively and varied roster of gatherings, presentations and interest groups. Here are examples of events that members have organized and enjoyed:   

  • Happy hours and local coffee gatherings
  • Workshops and presentations on topics such as emergency preparedness, crafts, watercolor painting, and travelogues 
  • Group visits to museums, plays and concerts
  • Brunch outings
  • Special interest groups such as Games, Book Club, Singalong

 

Make a positive impact in your immediate community
Volunteer opportunities enable you to give back to the Village by directly helping other members. There are many possibilities: You might join a committee, organize a workshop or special interest group, make regular phone calls to a homebound member or help our members schedule services. 

Access “members only” services and resources
We all need a helping hand now and then. As a member, you will be eligible for services* that are provided by trained volunteers.  Here are examples of services available:

  • Trips to medical appts, shopping or social events (we do not provide transportation for individuals who depend solely on a wheelchair or mobility scooter. Walkers are OK.)
  • Light household chores
  • Light yardwork
  • Technology assistance
  • Daily or weekly phone check-in
  • Prescription pickup
  • Companionship visits
  • Picture hanging
  • Access to a list of preferred vendors. These vendors are those that other members have personally used and recommend or have been screened by a Villages NW Village. 

* Eligibility for services is based on membership level. Details are on the Membership Levels and Fees page.
