OUR MISSION:

To empower youth to reach their full academic potential, while supporting their emotional and social development. Our goal is to involve families of color in the daily activities of their children’s education, giving them the opportunity to be active participants in their child’s classroom as well as the entire school community. We stand as bridge builders connecting families to school in order to secure a productive future for our children.

Our commitment is to structure an ethically diverse curriculum that reflects historical contributions accurately and bolsters the self esteem of every child. By stimulating the learning environment of our students we can better equip them with the skills and strategies needed to be successful participants in mainstream America.

The goals of Village United are to:
