Village Life Project was birthed in response to generations of systemic racism, inequity, redlining, economic oppression, miseducation, dehumanization, and mass incarceration. From the enslavement of African peoples, to the genocidal erasure and displacement of the Indigenous peoples, on to the war on drugs, police brutality, homelessness, unemployment, self hate, and black on black crime. Certain groups have long been taught that in order for them to thrive they must oppress other groups of people. Village Life Project rejects that premise and advances practices of cooperation and collaboration.Our vision is thriving youth, young adults, and families who contribute to a healthy global community.Our mission is to disrupt the preschool to prison pipeline by forwarding the development of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (S. T. E. A. M.) scholarship in the African American populace and providing solutions to contemporary global problems impacting the African Diaspora.Our core values are excellence, leadership, service, and truth, and through industry leading youth and family services, reentry supports, speaking and training services, and spiritual and physical fitness courses Village Life Project seeks to repair the damage to society caused by selfish and marginalizing mindsets, policies, and practices that have harmed the larger community.Village Life Project partners with concerned and committed stakeholders to realize a nation that thrives when all village members contribute to community wellbeing.We facilitate programming and foster collaborations with other organizations to increase the impact of community efforts aimed at restoration, repair, and renewal.
