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 come together to support families, equipping parents with the relationships, resources, and encouragement they need to raise children in safe, healthy, and thriving homes.
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 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.
