Villages of Kensington (VoK) is an all-volunteer, non-profit Montgomery County Age-Friendly organization run by residents in the 20895 ZIP code. Our mission is to build a supportive, diverse, inter-generational network of neighbors helping neighbors to remain in their homes and stay engaged in their community. Traditionally, VoK provides services and supports for older adults living in our community including transportation to medical and similar appointments and shopping, occasional in-home assistance with chores, friendly visits, and technology assistance to our members, and educational and social activities. We’re looking for individuals who share our vision to join our Board of Directors. Board members are also expected to be(come) a member of VoK.
VoK's Board is a working as opposed to a governance Board. Board members are expected to volunteer a minimum of 5-10 hours per month, including 2 hours each month at our Board meeting, although the number of hours is variable according to committee and other activities. Board members plan and participate in social activities, committees, and governance; recruit new VoK members & volunteers; and participate in the growth and success of this important community non-profit organization. We'd love to chat with you if you are interested in learning more.
