6-13-26: VillagesOKC Volunteer & Member Johni Wardwell

Avid VillagesOKC Volunteer & Member Johnina (Johni) Wardwell of Yukon, Oklahoma joins us to tell us all about VillagesOKC.org (A Plan, Not a Place)

For readers and listeners of the Oklahoma Senior Journal who may not be familiar with VillagesOKC, join us as we visit with Johni and learn about the organization’s mission and who it serves. VillagesOKC is part of the larger network, a global movement that began 25 years ago in Boston, MA. It started with a few neighbors who wanted to remain in their own homes and didn’t want to lean on their family (or had no family.)

Our Village in OKC is the only one in the state of Oklahoma and is focused on education, connection, volunteering, and providing trusted resources from handymen to caregiver support.

Listen to this OSJ radio hour! and read about VillagesOKC in the current OSJ magazine on page 53. (It’s the 34th year of OSJ in print!)

Johni, VillagesOKC

Johnina (Johni) Wardwell grew up in southern Indiana and was married to Major Loren Wardwell for 55 years. A lifelong educator, community advocate, and avid VillagesOKC volunteer, she has served in every community she’s called home. Since moving to Yukon in 2019, Johni has found VillagesOKC to be a meaningful way to stay engaged, serve others, and make a difference.
