Village to Village Network
Village to Village Network (VtV) is a national peer to peer network to help establish and continuously improve management of their own villages whether in large metropolitan areas, rural towns or suburban settings.
The VtV Network has been created by Villages for Villages. VtV helps communities establish and manage their own Villages. VtV has been developed in response to requests from Villages nationwide.
The mission of VtV is to enable communities to establish and effectively manage aging in community organizations initiated and inspired by their members.
