Overview

The Village’s Youth Programs combine art, education, advocacy and leadership.

Here, we meet young people where they are in their lives. Teaching artists nurture creative problem solving and expression. Our ultimate goal is to support young people’s creative power, and to help them make healthy, prosperous and engaged transitions to adulthood.

Vocal Expression

Clay + Ceramics
Philly Earth

“If I was a person who never discovered the Village, it would be like walking into a blind room with no lights. Following music has helped me see so many possibilities.”
