We’re on a mission to bridge the accessibility gap between young learners and passionate providers.

Life-changing extracurriculars have always been out there. With Village, they’re accessible to everyone.

Our story began with a family like any other.

Then she found sponsors to subsidize prices to make these opportunities affordable.

After growing up, one of her kids made it his mission to make sure that every child could access the unique opportunities he had.

He built Village to scale his mom’s work.
