The Village is our FREE mentorship program and safe haven for Black doctoral students in psychology. We are fostering a space where the next generation of psychologists have access to collaborative opportunities, culture, and genuine care, leading to a more empowering journey through the academy than the generations before. Generous donations allow us to host events, pay guest speakers, take them to conferences, send care packages, and offset financial hardships.
With an overwhelming 100 applicants for our 2023 cohort, we need your help expanding our reach! If you feel called to champion this cause, we welcome your support.
