RESOURCES

The Village to Village Network was formed in 2010 to support the many existing villages throughout the United States to help new villages get organized.  Parkland Village is a member of this Network.  On this website, you can find information about villages in general, including an interactive map that shows all villages that are Network members.

There are several villages in New Mexico.  To get an idea of how they function, you can access their websites.  They are:

Taos Elders and Neighbors Together (TENT) began services in 2018 and serves the city of Taos and surrounding areas.

Village in the Village serves the village or Corrales.

Villages of Santa Fe serves people in Santa Fe County.
