It Takes a Village. It Takes Our Village

Our centralized space houses seven community organizations working with people of all stripes—those seeking employment, computer skills and GED training, parents and families, sexual assault survivors, individuals and families in crisis, individuals and families affected by poverty, substance abuse and violence. Incorporated as a non-profit with charitable status the Village houses only non-profit organizations.

The six founding agencies of the Village launched with a single goal we still strive for today: increasing the value of our combined resources and the ability to serve clients. The benefits of colocation are many, including easier access to services for the community and resource sharing, and have resulted in increased efficiency.

The Village is an example of effective partnering that demonstrates increased capacity to serve a wider range of clients with innovative and more integrated services. It is a meeting place for residents of Saskatoon, where all can work together to build a stronger and more vibrant community.
