The Village
We are a wraparound program filled with Black and Brown women from the community who understand the adversities, disparities and traumas plaguing today's young women. We are intentional in our actions to create a space of trust and transparency for our girls. We recognize the unwavering need to pour love, resources and knowledge into our community. We encourage girls to embrace their unique individuality, we empower girls to use their voice and take action, we nurture their confidence and self-esteem and motivate them to make positive lifestyle choices. In addition to our girls, we provide support to their families by establishing communication and providing resources as needed.
The Mission
Our mission is to create a safe space for young ladies in our communities in person and virtually. We empower our girls to avoid negativity, build self-confidence, and pursue their goals through perseverance, courage and creativity. We foster their positive development to overcome roadblocks and reach their full potential in five areas – education, self-identity, wellness (mental and physical), community, and leadership.
The Purpose
It is our purpose to help youth in our community constructively navigate through life's milestones, traumas and adversities. We intentionally stimulate creativity and cultural excellence by helping to mitigate violence, fostering healthy relationships and injecting knowledge, positivity, confidence, and unity in tomorrow's leaders. Through education, social development, team building, fellowship, and real life experiences we are guiding generations forward.
The Impact
When girls access services, resources, and support in their development, they can meet and address their emotional, core issues, and educational needs to create systemic change. We provide strategies that assist girls to overcome roadblocks and reach their full potential. Their new found confidence allows them to be advocates for change, education, positivity and unity in the community. We purposely expose them to cultural excellence, entrepreneurship, college and career planning.
