THE VILLAGE
Young lives that have experienced trauma are no different from other youth – they have the same needs and wants:
- To be loved
- To have support
- To be successful
- To have friends
Learn More About Our Programs
Village of Promise welcomes any child needing an emotional rest from the isolation and trauma suffered when separated from a parent. Young people will find positive, caring adult mentors who are listening ears to their dreams and fears and give support and unconditional care to each child. Children from age 11 through post-high school graduation are given a safe place and encouragement through programs designed to empower them to become good citizens, excel in school, and live healthy lives. Village of Promise delivers two programs each month:
- Courageous Conversations workshops enhance a child’s self-esteem, confidence, awareness of thoughts and feelings, and builds resilience.
- “Expanded Horizons” excursions expose a child to opportunities throughout the community, including career exploration.
Annually, a five-day summer camp retreat includes self-growth activities and fun. A child learns coping skills and how to manage their responses to complex family experiences. Alumni of the program meet to develop strategies for successful transitions to independent living and to build a positive future.

Someone to look up to. Someone to talk to about dreams and fears. A good mentor listens, encourages and cares. Adult volunteers who have been screened, trained, and supervised make up the mentoring team.
