STACV Mission Statement

St. Augustine Compassionate Village exists to create a caring and connected community where older adults can age with dignity, independence, and joy. We do this by fostering meaningful social connections, organizing supportive programs, and linking members to trusted local resources.

Rooted in compassion, faith, and neighborly care, our mission is to ensure that every villager feels seen, supported, and valued. Through gatherings, education, wellness activities, and one-on-one assistance, we help members thrive as they navigate the later seasons of life.

STA Compassionate Village Will:

• Reflect the needs of its members

• Provide a compassionate community that offers members new opportunities to engage with one another and age in place

• Be a membership-based, member-driven, and self-governing structure

• Be inclusive

• Identity community partners to help address the challenges and opportunities associated with aging

• Coordinate access to affordable services, local resources, and vetted service providers

• Positively impact members’ health by addressing issues surrounding isolation and interdependence

• Inspire members to find and pursue their purpose

• Provide volunteer opportunities

• Offer social and educational activities

• Coordinate volunteer services (to be determined by village members)
