  • Click “Member Login” in the upper right corner of this page
  • On the Login form below the box, click “Forgot My Username/Password”
  • In the box that appears, enter your Email Address and First Name as requested and click OK

A temporary password will be emailed to you. Go back to “Member Login” and enter your username (your first initial and last name as one word with no spaces). Then enter your temporary password. 


On your personal computer or device, check “Remember me on this computer” for easy login in the future without needing to enter your username and password.


After your username and password is accepted, you will be asked to enter the password you want to use in the future. Enter your new password 2 times and be sure to SAVE.


Your Profile and the Member Directory


Review or Update your Profile

Login to vivavillage.org.
Click the down arrow by your name in the upper right corner and select Profile.

  • On your Member Profile page, select Standard Member Directory (upper right box).
  • In the "Visibility" dropdown menu under General Info, choose the option that matches which information you wish to have visible to other Villagers.
  • You can choose to include your photo, a decorative banner, and/or information about yourself.
Be sure to scroll to the bottom to SAVE your choice(s).

Use the Member Directory

After logging into the
vivavillage.org website, choose "Member Directory" under the Membership dropdown menu on the homepage.

The Directory shows members and volunteers who have enabled their visibility. Use the search box to find contact information for Viva Village friends, Viva Villagers in your area, and Villagers who share your interests.


Find Members and Volunteers who share your Interests

On our Viva Village website, click the Membership tab and select the Membership Directory.


The Standard Member Directory screen will show you other members who have enabled their visibility.


In the large Search Criteria box, go to the Interest dropdown box and select an Interest. You can also specify a distance or Metro Area. Then click Search.


The display will first show a map with pins for members and volunteers. Click on the pin to see the names. You can also scroll down further to see boxes with the members’ contact information.


Send them an email or call to arrange a time to get together.

Bulletin Boards— another way to connect with Viva Villagers 

Only Viva Village members and volunteers will see what you post.
Posting, Viewing, or Responding to a Bulletin Board message is ONLINE ONLY.

On our Viva Village website, click the Membership tab and select the Bulletin Boards.


To view or post a message, click either:

— Marketplace: Post items to give away, buy, sell, or trade
Open Bulletin Board: Share information, events, and opportunities that other Villagers might find interesting, useful, or entertaining.


Two ways to view, post, or respond to a message.

1) Through the website:
Login to
vivavillage.org
Select "Bulletin Boards" in the Membership dropdown menu

2) From notifications received by email:
Each Bulletin Board sends a single message in the morning that lists any new post(s) from the day before. (No new posts… no email)
Click on "View/Reply Online" in your email to go to the Bulletin Board page of the website. Login required.

Bulletin Board notifications are optional. Let the office know if you wish to opt out of one or both Bulletin Boards or follow the steps in the Bulletin Board instructions.

If you need assistance the office can connect you with a Bulletin Board volunteer:
503-746-5082 or
vivavillageor@gmail.com.
