Annual Christmas Party for the Community
The holiday season is a special time of year for children and families, a time filled with excitement and anticipation. Sadly however, many do not have the means to purchase even the most basic holiday gifts. Each winter, The Village Project helps fulfill the holiday wishes of more than 500 disadvantaged Families through our Annual Christmas Party for Kids and Families Program. We unite our young adults and work within the community to serve the disadvantage, low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities.

In order to continue our work we need your support. The Village Project is in a continuing spiral of fundraising to carry out our mission.  Will you join us by contributing to this worthy cause? Your contribution in any domination is greatly appreciated.

Annual New Years Bowl-a-thon (Gift of Time Event)
The youth, volunteers, alumni, partnerships and sponsors look forward to this annual event.  For the past 6 years The Village Project has given at-risk youth a memorable experience many of us take for granted.  Held after Christmas (yet still in the Christmas spirit) and before New Years we hold a unique 'Gift of Time Bowl-a-Thon' designed especially to serve the youth.  Best of all, the event is shared with Big Brother and Big Sister mentors who gives the gift of time and what the youth need most – direction, love and respect.

Village Project Camping Trip
Strategically woven into all the fun at camp is a curriculum that focuses on building self-esteem and instilling the values of good citizenship. A citizenship theme is presented at each morning assembly (good citizens work together, share, are fair to others, care about others, and are loyal). The youth are encouraged to practice each theme during the camp through their activities, skits and personal actions. Teamwork is also strongly emphasized through “cabin” competitions and sporting events. Both individual and team efforts are rewarded daily through special recognition and blue ribbons. Everyone goes home a winner.

The Village Camp educational centerpiece is our anti-drug and gang resistance program. The children attend GREAT (Gang Resistance Education and Training) classes taught by nationally recognized instructors. Counselors and staff serve as both teachers and role models to reinforce our daily messages.
