GODPARENT VILLAGE PROGRAM


Guidance. Accountability. Opportunity. A Future.

Ages 15–20

Every young person deserves someone in their corner—someone who sees beyond their past, reminds them of their potential, and helps them build a future they can be proud of.

The GodParent village Program, an initiative of the Phinisee Promise Foundation Inc., provides individualized support to teens and young adults ages 15–20 who are rebuilding their lives after juvenile placement, court involvement, school disruption, or other challenging life circumstances.

Our goal is simple: help young people get back on track, stay on track, and prepare for a successful transition into adulthood.

More Than a Program! Someone in Your Corner

Sometimes a young person doesn’t need another person telling them what they did wrong. They need someone who will help them figure out what comes next.

Through The Godparent Village Program, each participant is encouraged to identify their goals, recognize their strengths, develop a plan, and take meaningful steps toward education, employment, independence, and long-term stability.


We celebrate progress, whether that’s earning a GED, returning to school, getting a first job, touring a college, learning a new skill, or simply making better choices one day at a time.


Your Past Does Not Determine Your Future.

The Godparent Village Program is here to help you build what comes next.

Restoring Hope. Building Futures. Creating Opportunities.
