Mission Statement
Village Arise provides resources and services for adolescents. We design leadership-oriented programs infusing modern-day apprenticeship with the collective efforts of community leaders and volunteers in order to bestow upon young adults a harmonious balance of interpersonal skills, life skills, and academic skills, thereby creating transitional pathways at the crucial inflection point of adolescent development, preparing them to lead effective lives of active citizenship.
Description
Village Arise can be summarized by one word, "apprenticeship". Apprenticeship is a form of mentorship where artisans/craftsmen guide a protégé during their age of emerging talents; all the while bestowing upon the protégé the opportunity to develop skill. Village Arise is structured around this basic definition of apprenticeship.
On March 24 th 2011 Village Arise became a 501 (c)(3) non-for-profit corporation providing leadership programs and services to adolescents ages 13 through 19. Starting off in the Greater New York City Area our programs will create partnerships with local school districts, community leaders and community volunteers to create an apprenticeship style of mentoring.
