Our Story
Mount Pleasant Village is a community-based nonprofit dedicated to enriching the lives of neighborhood residents. Established as part of a nationwide movement that began in 2001, this organization mobilizes neighbor-to-neighbor volunteer services and offers social, wellness, educational, and cultural programs. Located in the historic Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington, D.C., just three miles north of the White House, Mount Pleasant Village reflects the unique characteristics and values of its residents.
As an all-volunteer organization, Mount Pleasant Village thrives on the dedication of its community members. Volunteers provide essential services, plan programs, and govern the organization, allowing for a low annual membership fee of just $50. This commitment to inclusivity ensures that everyone in the inter-generational community—homeowners, renters, non-profits, and small businesses—feels welcome and represented.
