Parent Villages

Build a bridge between parents, youth, advocates, community leaders, and educators to close the gap.

The countdown is officially over.

We heard how much you loved it last year, and we are back every Wednesday and Thursday July 15th - August 13th . Parent Villages, in partnership with the Department of Conservation and Recreation, is thrilled to launch the return of our Summer Nights program.

Starting this July, we are opening up a vibrant evening space designed specifically for 6th through 12th graders to step away from screens, connect with peers, and build real leadership skills. This isn't your average summer camp. We are taking things to the next level with hands-on workshops, creative projects, skate nights, field trips, and a massive end-of-summer celebration.

The program is one hundred percent free to attend, and we provide full dinners and snacks every single night. On top of that, teens can even earn gift card rewards just for showing up and participating.

One of our past participants put it best: "Being part of these programs helped me step out of my comfort zone and realize I have what it takes to be a leader."

Spaces fill up fast, so do not wait until the rosters are full to secure your teen's spot. Scan the QR code on our flyer or visit Parentvillages.org/Events to register today.

The Details:
July through August 2026, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at 32 Hampden St, Springfield, MA. For questions, call us at (413) 301-8121.

"I realized if I wanted to build something sustainable, I had to go back to school." — Troy Williams, Parent Scholar 🎓✨

Change starts here, and it starts with investing in the people who are building our future. Troy didn’t just attend an event; he lived the mission. By going back to school, he is actively creating a sustainable foundation for his family and our community.

At Parent Villages, we believe every parent and youth should have the resources they need to grow, learn, and lead.

We are on a crucial countdown to June 13th to raise $50,000 for our brand-new Youth & Young Adults Program Suite. Your donation provides the exact tools and safe spaces that help Scholars like Troy thrive.

Whether it’s $5 or $50, your investment changes lives right here in Springfield. Let’s fund the future together!
