Stories of Impact
Meet Stephanie
Stephanie’s first priority is making sure her children, Jazlene and Josavian, are happy and safe. As a working mom, finding child care during the after-school hours was a struggle. Thanks to The Village’s free after-school program at her children’s school, she didn’t have to worry— Jazlene and Josavian are now able to get homework help, enjoy enrichment activities and make new friends in a safe, nurturing environment.
CAREERS
What keeps employees here? Making a difference.
“The work is rewarding. The Village is big enough, but small enough.”
