Why It Matters Here
Aroostook County is one of the most rural, most isolated, and most aging counties in New England. For many Acadian elders in the St. John Valley, a Community Navigator isn't just a volunteer — they're a lifeline. With your support, no one has to face aging alone.
"In our Acadian tradition, we look after one another — famille et voisinage, family and neighborhood. Community Navigators carry that spirit forward."
