VineCorps

VineCorps is a comprehensive youth development organization that bridges systemic opportunity gaps while promoting health and wellbeing by building neighborhood hubs of connection, action and growth for teens and young adults in under-served areas of Prince George's County, Maryland. Working closely with youth who contend with challenging circumstances such as low household income and undocumented or restrictive immigration status, VineCorps provides personally tailored educational enrichment, holistic behavioral health support, pathways to high-quality youth employment, family assistance, and access to crucial life experiences beyond the classroom and workplace — all with relentless encouragement. Running year-round weekly programming since 2011, VineCorps engages young people, 12 to 24 years old, with myriad opportunities to come together, explore, own responsibility, contribute, make the most of good opportunities, take the right risks, work through setbacks, navigate transitions, heal and revitalize in community, practice nonviolent conflict resolution, and realize their own unique potential, in school, on the job, and in life.
