Collaborator of the Week: The Village


The Village of Arts and Humanities (The Village) is a multifaceted arts organization dedicated to community revitalization through the arts. The need for a new urban landscape in 1986, spawned the Village of North Philadelphia. Started originally as a small neighborhood park project, it has grown to offer a menu of services including: the Village Arts Challenge, Teen Leadership Corps, and an annual theater production. They have a great website, so check it out for more information and a schedule of upcoming events.
We had the good fortune to be able to go there this week to do an educational presentation on HIV. The teens had a great conversation with our staff about whether or not someone with HIV should disclose their status to their partner. Become a fan of theirs on Facebook.
