Bereaved Youth Village
Because it Takes a Village
Welcome to Bereaved Youth Village, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children who have experienced the loss of a parent at an early age. Our mission is to nurture, support, and connect these children to a village of support as they navigate through their grief journey. We believe it takes a village to raise a child, especially after the loss of a parent.
At Bereaved Youth Village
At Bereaved Youth Village, we understand that the loss of a parent can be one of the most traumatic experiences in a child’s life. It can impact their emotional, mental, and physical well-being, often leaving them feeling alone and without support. That’s why we offer our services free of charge.
