Apply to be a Community Partnerships Manager at Found Village today.

About Found Village

We support families and communities in need by partnering with organizations and systems to fill the gaps wherever necessary. Many areas of need are unmet without a holistic approach to serving kids in crisis. This results in deeper levels of trauma, neglect, and misunderstanding.

We support teens and their families so they can understand and navigate the systems they have become a part of. We aim to help elevate the voices of our youth and provide them with the support that your average teenager born into a different circumstance would inherently receive.
