About Us
Edgewood Village is a membership organization, part of The Village Common of Rhode Island, formally affiliated in July 2020.
Our leadership team, the Edgewood Village Steering Committee, concerns
itself with our Village’s needs, plans, and members’ engagement.
Our Village is represented on The Village Common Coordinating Council by
Barbara Schermack and Sharon Gendron-Petroff. This group provides
direction and operational support for all Villages.
Membership is open to all. Membership fees are suggested at varying
levels, with a “write in your fee” option to accommodate everyone’s
economic circumstances. It is our hope that the membership fee is never a
barrier to joining our Village. To learn more about membership fees, please

We ask that our members embrace the core values of The Village Common
of RI: generosity, inclusivity, engagement, collaboration, sustainability.
We encourage, but do not require, volunteers to be members and
members to volunteer if able. Making connections with each other and with
our community is our aim.
