Description
Boa Me Na Me Mmoa Wo
"Help Me and Let Me Help You"
The Village Project, Inc. (TVPI) was established May of 2008. It was created to provided culturally appropriate services to the African American population in order to address unmet needs that existed in the community. While the focus of TVPI is to serve African Americans, we are also committed to providing services to anyone who needs them, and from the beginning, our constituency has consisted of the diverse population of Monterey County.
While our current services center on mental health counseling, we also have a parenting program and psycho-educational support groups for youth. We are excited that this agency exists and look forward to providing many other services in the future.
