NEST is a 501(c)(3) non-profit grassroots community in Northeast Seattle, founded in 2009. By providing a strong support network through volunteers and trusted business referrals, older residents can stay in the homes of their choosing and stay engaged in the neighborhoods they love, for as long as possible. NEST serves the neighborhoods north of the Montlake Ship Canal, south of NE Northgate Way & NE 110th Street, west of Lake Washington, and east of Interstate-5. NEST is based on the national “virtual village model.” Currently, there are over 300 virtual villages actively serving across the United States and many more in the works.

Students will work and interact one on one with older adults/members/families, whose goals are to age in place and to support individuals to remain independent, active and connected within the community. Students will also work on and facilitate ongoing group acitivities and develop their own program ideas.

Students will assist/support in-office operations and other tasks as well as learn the organization's 'village' concept and other small non-profit protocols. Students will also have the opportunity to sit on organization committees and possible Board matters and learn other local programs/agencies servicing older adults.

Students will learn policies regarding older adults locally and nationally.
