Linking Hands to Fortify the Village

The Family Refuge Village merges the strengths of African American churches, community, and agencies to create a within neighborhood community wellbeing system. We strengthen our ability to thrive collectively when we share knowledge, create pathways to each other, and break down barriers. The village is inclusive of teachers, preachers, extended family, neighbors, doctors, businesspersons, survivors, and more.... Most importantly it includes you. The village is rich with everything we need to nurture the next generation.
