Bring the Village to Your Community
The Village Within Foundation Affiliate Chapter Program
You don’t have to build a village alone.
The Village Within Foundation is creating a growing network of communities where parents feel connected, supported, and never alone.
We’re looking for passionate moms, parents, and community leaders who want to bring the Village experience to their own community.
As an Affiliate Chapter Leader, you’ll have the opportunity to build meaningful connections, create local experiences, connect families with resources, and make a lasting impact in the community you call home.
Your community deserves a Village.
What Is an Affiliate Chapter?
An Affiliate Chapter is a local community led by someone who believes in the mission of The Village Within Foundation and wants to create meaningful connections and support for families in their area.
Chapter Leaders help bring the Village to life through local events, community partnerships, volunteer opportunities, family resources, and initiatives designed around the needs of their community.
You don’t have to build everything from scratch.
We give you the framework. You bring the Village to your community.

You don’t need to have everything figured out.
You just need to care about your community and believe that families are stronger when they have a village.
Your Chapter. Your Community.
Every community is different.
That’s why Affiliate Chapters are designed to have room to grow in ways that reflect the families they serve.
Your chapter can develop events, partnerships, volunteer opportunities, and community initiatives based on the unique needs of your local families.
The goal isn’t to create identical communities everywhere.
The goal is to create connected communities everywhere.

You could be that person.
