A community united to keep families together.
It takes a village to raise a child...
The old African proverb is coming to life in Durham as people in our community commit to providing for and interacting with families in crisis to help children experience and grow in safe and healthy environments.
Parents navigating difficult circumstances may struggle to meet the needs of their children. Without the proper support, many children are removed and placed into foster homes.
At The Village Durham, our mission is to support family preservation by connecting parents in crisis to relationships and organizations in our community that can help. Ultimately, we believe in being the village necessary to sustain healthy futures for families in Durham.
