The Village Mission

The Village is a group of parents, community members, partners, advocates, and school-based staff in the Brookland Community in Washington, DC, who believe that each child has the worth, the value and the inherent right to a high-quality education. The Village is committed to engaging with the traditional public schools in our community.

Without reservation we will work to:

  • Provide tools and resources to gain educational opportunities for students and teachers;

  • Establish sustainable resources to meet academic, extra-curricular and socio-emotional needs of students,

  • Advance innovation and technology to increase globalization for the community;

  • Promote, advocate, and celebrate the successes of students and their school community.
