About Us
The United Village Inc. vs The Village Empowerment Center
The United Village Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to positively changing the narrative for youth and communities. We developed the Liaison Business Model which allows us to utilize our partners resources, instead of re-inventing the wheel. Our partnerships with local organizations, businesses, community leaders and Ambassadors creates "The Village" and this unification allows us to effectively empower our youth and uplift our communities, together!
In 2023, our G.A.U.G.E. (Grow As yoU Go Enrichment Program) and Liaison Model was developed to ensure students received a positive, well-rounded, interactive experience. This program focuses on Developing Social Skills, Conflict Resolution/Alternatives to Violence, Academic Excellence, Exploring Their Interest and Building Character. Our Liaison Model is a tiered model that build relationships and closes generational gaps. We use the wisdom of our Elders, the Knowledge of our Mentors, and the Creative Minds of our Ambassadors to pour into the lives of our youth!
This World needs Change - The United Village Inc is that Change & Together, we can Save our Children!

Our Mission
Our Mission is to Empower the youth and communities, to be the next generation of leaders, by utilizing credible messengers and a
unique creative mentoring program.
We meet people where they are, and we care enough not to leave them there. We believe building a relationship and seeing a person for who they are and not their situation, is the most important part in youth empowerment. With your help we can impact more lives than we ever thought was possible. Join us today!
