Impact

The Village and its network of corporate, public and government partners have joined forces to create opportunities for emerging underprivileged talent. Focused on industries and themes across entertainment, culture, sports, finance and beyond, we're helping to find and uplift talent facing barriers in our communities.

We uplift young adults facing barriers with life-changing career opportunities. Through career discovery, experiential learning, internships and jobs we reignite the American Dream in the communities we serve.
