Village Mentoring Academy
Redefining Identity. Empowering Purpose. Becoming Uniquely You.
Village Mentoring Academy is a transformative leadership and personal development program designed to help youth in grades 6–12 discover who they are and who they are becoming. Rooted in mentorship, identity, service, and empowerment, the Academy provides a safe, supportive space where students grow in confidence, character, and purpose. Through dynamic group mentoring, hands-on experiences, and community engagement, young people are challenged to redefine their identity, embrace their unique story, and become leaders in their homes, schools, and neighborhoods. At the Village Mentoring Academy, we believe every student has the potential to rise. Our mission is to walk with them until they do.
