  • The Village Mentorship Group is dedicated to transforming the lives of young men through personalized mentorship. We focus on building confidence, emotional intelligence, and a clear vision for the future by fostering meaningful, one-on-one relationships. Our mission is to meet each young man where he is, providing individualized guidance, resources, and exposure to opportunities that align with his unique aspirations. Through this approach, we aim to inspire our mentees to not only achieve their goals but to become mentors themselves, paying it forward within their communities.

  • Our boys don’t lack potential. They lack doors that open, rooms that welcome them in, and people who will walk with them until they feel like they belong there

    —Terry Matthews

  • A boy becomes dangerous when he has big feelings and nowhere safe to put them. A man becomes powerful when he has guidance and access to opportunity.

    —Reggie Jones

  • Young men don’t just need a second chance. They need a first example. An example of discipline, confidence and integrity.
