Stern Village is a Community within a Community
Stern Village is run by a Board of Commissioners, appointed by the First Selectman of Trumbull. This group of five dedicated volunteers works closely with the Executive Director to ensure the well-being of the residents and overall facilities. Board meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month in the Community Room or on Zoom.

We strive to Build Community Partnerships. Several of Trumbull’s organizations have been active in Stern Village. These groups include but are not limited to: The Trumbull Rotary Club, The Boy Scouts, The Girl Scouts, The Trumbull Library, Long Hill Garden Club, Home Depot, and others. Individuals from these organizations have volunteered their time and energy to visit and help our residents, create and implement a beautification project for our Community Room, or donated much-needed equipment. We are thankful for their support and we are always seeking to build community partnerships.
