Part time Executive Director Seaglass Village

Organization Overview

Established in 2021, Seaglass Village Inc. (SV) is a non-profit, member-led organization of active adults aged 50 and older residing in Marblehead, Nahant and Swampscott. (Expansion into Salem is under consideration.) We reimagine aging and community for older adults by supporting independent living. For an annual fee, members receive support from volunteers and have the opportunity to participate in social events.

The Board of Directors (BOD) is responsible for setting the goals, objectives and policies of SV. Members lead the committees that plan and implement social programs. Volunteers support our members by driving, shopping, doing small household tasks, providing tech assistance or just visiting.
