Village of Promise Health Outreach

Village of Promise (VOP) welcomes any child needing an emotional rest from the isolation and trauma suffered when separated from a parent due to parental incarceration, ICE detention/deportation, death, divorce, or foster or out of home placement. Young people will find positive, caring adult mentors who are listening ears to their dreams and fears and give support and unconditional care to each child. Children from age 11 through post-high school graduation find a safe place and encouragement through programs designed to empower them to become good citizens, excel in school, and live healthy lives. 

VOP delivers two programs each month: Courageous Conversations workshops enhance a child’s self-esteem, confidence, awareness of thoughts and feelings, and builds resilience. “Expanded Horizons” excursions expose a child to opportunities throughout the community, including career exploration. Annually, a five-day summer camp retreat includes self-growth activities and fun. A child learns coping skills and how to manage their responses to complex family experiences.
