The Village

Mentoring program to influence the minds and enrich the lives of young black men.

The Village is a non-profit organization, which has a history of serving this community through many life changing programs. Many children and families have experienced positive results through our recovery programs, our food pantry, the A+ Honors program, and many more. It is our ongoing mission to extend an honest hand to the next generation by connecting youth from at risk communities with empo

wered and enlightened adults who will provide those youth with academic assistance, spiritual guidance, and life skills training to equip them with the skill sets needed to excel in all aspects of life. In 2014, to facilitate growth we entered into a partnership with Prince of Peace and relocated our scope of focus to Berkeley, MO. In just a short time the Village has become a centerpiece of the community providing children, youth, and families, for the first time ever an opportunity to learn, work and play right in their own neighborhood.

Happy Wellness Wednesday from The Village 314 🖤

Wellness is not only about taking care of your body — it’s also about understanding yourself, learning from your experiences, and continuing to grow through every season of life.

At The Village 314, we encourage our young men to move with confidence, reflect with intention, and understand that growth takes time.

Real wellness looks like:
• Protecting your peace
• Learning healthy habits
• Building confidence
• Having positive mentors and support systems
• Giving yourself grace while growing

As we continue through this season, let this be your reminder that every step forward matters — mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Keep growing. Keep learning. Keep showing up for yourself. 👑✨

Happy Motivation Monday from The Village 314 🖤

Today, we pause to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Memorial Day is a reminder that legacy, sacrifice, and service matter. It reminds us that leadership is not only about what we achieve for ourselves, but also how we show up for others and the impact we leave behind.

At The Village 314, we carry that spirit forward through mentorship — investing in our young men, building character, and helping shape future leaders through guidance, exposure, and community.
As we enjoy time with loved ones, may we also reflect with gratitude and continue moving with purpose.

Honor the sacrifice. Value the legacy. Continue the work. ✨

Happy Wellness Wednesday from The Village 314 🖤

As the weeks move quickly and summer approaches, this is your reminder to slow down and check in with yourself.

Wellness is not only about physical health — it’s about protecting your peace, managing your mindset, and surrounding yourself with positive people and environments.

At The Village 314, we believe our young men should know the importance of:
• Taking time to reset
• Speaking positively to themselves
• Building healthy habits
• Leaning on community and support

Growth happens best when the mind, body, and spirit are cared for together.
Take a breath. Stay grounded. Keep growing. ✨

Happy Motivation Monday from The Village 314 🖤

It’s hard to believe we’re already nearing the end of May. This month has been filled with meaningful conversations, mentorship opportunities, engagement, and continued growth with our young men.
Every session, every outing, and every moment of guidance matters.

As we head into the summer season, we remain committed to creating experiences that encourage leadership, confidence, exposure, and brotherhood.
The momentum is growing.
The connections are deepening.
And the mission continues.
Summer is not just a break — it’s another opportunity to learn, build, and pour into the next generation.

Let’s continue showing up with purpose. ✨

Happy Wellness Wednesday from Village 314 🖤

As we move through Mental Health Awareness Month, this is your reminder that wellness is something we should continue to prioritize — mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Life moves fast, responsibilities pile up, and challenges come and go, but taking time to check in with yourself matters.

At The Village 314, we believe our young men should know that:
• It’s okay to pause
• It’s okay to ask for support
• It’s okay to protect your peace

Growth isn’t just about achievement — it’s also about learning healthy habits, building confidence, and creating space for balance.

As we approach the middle of the month, take a moment to reset, recharge, and keep moving forward with intention. ✨

Congratulations to our young men who brought home the win!

Our high school young men shined at a recent bowling tournament, winning 1st place. Jaiden also claimed the highest scratch score.

Happy Motivation Monday from The Village 314 🖤

As we move through this new week and reflect on Mother’s Day weekend, we want to take a moment to honor the incredible women who continue to nurture, guide, support, and pour into the lives of our young men every single day.

To the mothers, grandmothers, bonus moms, aunties, mentors, and village women — thank you for your love, sacrifices, wisdom, and strength.
We also hold space for those reflecting on and remembering the special women who have gone before us, whose love and legacy continue to shape generations.

At The Village 314, we understand that strong communities are built through love, leadership, and support — and so much of that foundation begins at home.

May this week be filled with purpose, gratitude, and continued growth. ✨
