    About VineCorps

    VineCorps is a comprehensive youth development organization that builds neighborhood hubs of connection, action and growth for teens in under-served areas of Prince George's County, Maryland, offering personally-tailored educational support, family assistance, employment, and access to crucial life experiences beyond the classroom.

           

    VineCorps engages youth during out-of-school time to help them own responsibility, contribute and serve, make the most of good opportunities, take the right risks, work through setbacks, navigate transitions, and realize their own unique potential, in school, on the job, and in life.

    What We Do    

              

    In our work to promote positive efforts among youth, VineCorps continually strives to engage people more effectively in the following core areas:

              

    1) Authentic, Intentional Community 

     —  Youth thrive when they have a place to thoroughly

    be known, be loved and belong with deep respect and affection. In addition to home and school, "third places" of rich community life (physical, not just virtual) are also highly important, especially for teens and young adults.

              

    2) Comprehensive Educational Support

     —  Among any group of youth on any given day, particular needs include everything from homework

    help to intensive mentoring, building academic skills to practicing life skills, active listening to accessible mental health care, improving school-related communication to forceful special-needs advocacy, the right school and classes to a decent job, transportation to tuition assistance, goal-oriented coaching to upholding appropriate consequences, and more.

              

    3) Tangible Leadership Experiences

     —  Young people require activities and enterprises that become theirs to lead and run as they gain experience and maturity. What's more, youth peer relationships carry the culture, so they must assume responsibility

    for observing how to care for one another, function as

    a group, and advance the common good.
