The Village Indiana

"Every city already has what it needs to heal itself."

The Village Indiana surrounds youth with consistent mentors, equips parents with real support, and unites communities around one shared mission — raising the next generation together.

What Is The Village Indiana?

The Village Indiana is more than a mentoring program. We are a youth and family development organization built around the belief that young people thrive when they are surrounded by strong relationships, equipped families, and connected communities.

​

Through mentoring, parent enrichment, and community partnerships, we bring together the people and resources already within a community to help young people grow socially, emotionally, spiritually, and personally.

 

Engage Youth. Equip Parents. Empower Communities.
