We aim to build safe, healthy, and whole communities by advancing educational equity and strengthening family support systems that ensure every child thrives.
We seek to create pathways of opportunity for the region’s most vulnerable areas, in an effort to improve community conditions and effectively help children and their families reach their full potential.
We deliver high-impact tutoring that accelerates learning, builds confidence, and supports students’ long-term academic success.
We partner with families and caregivers to strengthen stability, access resources, and build the capacity needed to support children’s learning and well-being.
We build the next generation of educators and youth workers by providing college students with real-world tutoring and program leadership experiences.
We collaborate with schools and community partners to deliver aligned, wraparound supports that meet the holistic needs of students and families.
“One student had been absent often and was far behind on assignments. When they returned, they came straight to me to sit together during class so I could help them stay focused and catch up on their work.”

“My tutor is very kind and encouraging, and they help me learn new things every session. I always enjoy coming to tutoring and feel more confident because of the support I receive from them.”

“The Driven 2 Succeed Program being offered during the school day in the classroom makes it both impactful and accessible for students who might not otherwise be able to attend support services after school hours.”

“The atmosphere at ‘The Brooks’ was filled with creativity and fun every day. Thank you to Raising A Village for giving my son new experiences—I’ve kept every art project because each one is so special to us.”

“Helping multiple students and seeing them return each week has been so rewarding. Two sisters now come almost every day, and I can speak with them in Spanish, making them feel at home while I continue learning from them too.”
