We are deeply passionate about creating belonging and hope restoration for foster children.

We want to provide an escape for those trapped in the system to become independent and valued contributors to our society. The Village USA works in partnership with communities, foster care agencies and local governments to positively and permanently influence the lives and character of foster children. We do this through transformational experiences and sustained supporting relationships designed to heal the body, mind and soul. The Village USA fosters supportive communities where hearts are mended and spirits soar!

The Village USA acts as a “caulk” to fill identified cracks within the continuum of care, by developing a supportive community that will serve foster children, and the families and agencies who care for them.

With the understanding that many children may transition between different foster homes or group homes, it is our goal to help identify and support the foster children who are most vulnerable to “falling through the cracks”. We will serve as a “catalyst” and “orchestrator” of transformational experiences, child development opportunities and a sustained, metropolitan-wide presence, specifically supporting these “serial” foster children.

We will we seek to provide consistency, continuity and a sense of belonging throughout their continuum of care. During summer months we provide children the opportunity to have fun just “being kids” in an atmosphere of consistency, stability and love.

Throughout the year, we will assist them in identifying or pursuing their gifts and talents through our weekend experiential learning and arts program. Children will learn how to become responsible citizens in their communities and on a global level through structured ongoing outreach programs.
