Neighborhood Circles
Neighborhood Circles are smaller, hyper-local groups that enable members to develop relationships closer to home. Currently, there are 13 Neighborhood Circles led by either members or non-member volunteers and supported by our member and volunteer coordinator, Jill Ellefsen. One of the circles is specifically focused on issues relevant to our LGBT members.

“Joining San Francisco Village is the best thing I’ve done. I have met wonderful people. I live alone and even though I have family, I feel comfortable knowing I have people in my neighborhood to call if I need help.”
