The Village Center for Culture and Character, Inc. (TV3C) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underserved youth through transformative travel, cultural exchange, and character-building experiences. Founded with the belief that every young person, regardless of socio-economic background, deserves access to global opportunities, TV3C provides educational journeys that broaden horizons, foster leadership, and nurture a sense of responsibility. Through immersive experiences, we aim to connect youth Explorers with the world beyond their immediate environments, helping them develop a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and global history, especially the link between African American heritage and Africa.
