STAGE: Development
"A
Historically Themed Educational and Creative
Mentoring Center". We are
reaching kids that are creative, think out of
the box and who possess unlimited potential, but
are not being reached by traditional educational
means. Through mentoring and validating their
creativity, they will be less likely to turn to
drugs, sex and violence, are bored with school
and the status-quo.
The Facts
There isn't a
high school in the nation
that hasn't expressed
concerns and frustration for at risk youth who
struggle to learn with the traditional means of
education, or who, due to financial and family
situations that make it difficult to learn.
Utilizing
tools and resources available through arts and
entertainment as well as business industries,
Village Guild provides trade school training
while developing character learning how to
develop healthy relationships, character and
team skills.
