Devoted in the Community
Elder Councils turn members’ energy into action, strengthening communities nationwide
The Elder Councils are a grassroots movement created to strengthen the well-being of our communities through everyday acts of kindness. We bring together Devoted members and local Elders to share wisdom, expertise, and skills and to spread love and inspire others, the way community is meant to.
At the heart of everything we do is a shared commitment to improving the physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being of our communities.
We believe our own well-being is tied to the well-being of the people around us. When our neighbors thrive, we thrive too. So we put our time, resources, relationships, and energy toward three things:
- Supporting our wider community by showing up for one another and organizing activities that connect people with the resources they need, like building and maintaining community gardens, making meals for those in need, and restocking pantries.
- Deepening individual connection by talking with our neighbors to understand what's weighing on them, and by hosting monthly birthday parties, annual Thanksgiving dinners, and New Year's events to show up for those around us.
- Advising Devoted Health by becoming a voice that brings a member centric point of view to the new programs, initiatives, benefits, and policies Devoted is rolling out which extends our impact beyond our local communities.
