The Village Community Center is located in the heart of The Village and is open to tenants daily. This is a space where many events and programs take place such as food bank distribution, good news club and counseling sessions. Internet, computer and printing services are also available free of charge. Equipped with a full kitchen, it is a communal place that the adults of The Village can come cook, hang out and socialize.

Located next to The Community Center is The Village Garden. Residents are free to enjoy swiss chard, carrots, jalapenos, sweet peas, strawberries, kale, lettuce, tomatoes, rosemary, lemon thyme, cilantro and other seasonal plants whenever they please. Our staff is devoted to providing seasonal fruits and veggies. The Garden is an important tool that the staff uses to educate the adults and children on the care of the plants, healthy eating and the importance of recycling and composting.

The Village Learning Center was started in January 2013 and started out as a 3-bedroom apartment. Over the year the youth and teens of The Village have transformed it into a place of their own. It been a safe environment for the children to go to that focuses on education, responsibility, community service and mentorship.

The Lighthouse Garden, acquired garden when The Junior League held a beautification day at our learning center in April 2017. We were able to transform 2 wooden pallets into a garden and with the help of our students and volunteers, we have maintained and grown our garden to 3 pallets and use the lettuce weekly in our snacks and offer herbs like cilantro to our tenants. The garden is open to all residents and is a great teaching tool about nutrition and organic eating. We also use it to emphasize water conservation as we use recycled water from our center to water the garden. We look forward to growing our garden even more and providing more fresh produce for our community!

The Lighthouse Learning Center opened in September 2016 in a 2-bedroom apartment on site that has been transformed into a now learning center with a music and art room. We started out by serving each registered student 1 hour of tutoring a week and have grown to be able to serve every student every day and also offer a range of extra curricular activities such as art, dance, yoga, and music classes. Students have also been able to participate in our summer program as well as camps during school breaks. The Lighthouse continues to go through structural and internal transformations, increasing the sense of community and camaraderie between all of our residents.
