That Good May Become
Supporting differently-abled people in becoming fully engaged in life and community.
Community Announcements
Raphael Rocks was a rousing success!
All proceeds from “Raphael Rocks” will support programming designed to elevate and empower individuals with exceptionalities as they transition into adult life. Annual program fees only cover approximately 65% of our costs associated with providing the high level of quality, hands-on instruction that the Guild provides each of its members. Our mission driven organization is grateful for the support of donors like you!
What is Raphael Village?
Raphael Village
Raphael Village is an Affiliate Member of the Camphill Association of North America. We are a non-profit organization comprised of three programs—The Guild, The Hive , and The Hearth—that aid differently-abled individuals in leading purposeful and enriching lives. We provide educational, vocational, and social inclusion support for individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. We support our students’ and members’ unique unfolding so that they may be actively engaged in life and community.
The Hive
Our newest initiative, The Hive at Raphael Village, aims to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve competitive employment throughout the Greater New Orleans area. This program is designed to be a pathway for professional growth and integrate participants into the local workforce, enhancing their opportunities for meaningful and fulfilling careers.
The Guild
The Guild is a day program for differently-abled individuals aged eighteen and older. Our day program provides members with continued academic education, as well as the vocational, social, and life skills necessary to lead full and purposeful lives in our community.
The Hearth
The Hearth is our future network of residential homes where adults with disabilities and their caregivers will cooperatively live together in a life-sharing community. We expect The Hearth to have established its first home by 2023.
