Skills Youth Build in Village Creators

Village Creators projects give youth hands-on learning across a range of disciplines. Participants develop skills in STEM, art, music and other areas while working alongside peers and positive adult mentors.

Mentorship and Peer Connections

Building relationships is at the core of the Village Creators experience. Youth spend time with peer groups and supportive adult mentors, and the program centers that time on questions about the Village — who belongs to it, what each person's role is, and how we care for and celebrate it.
