Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Waking the Village operates an on-site child development co-op, offering Tubmans children space to explore and activities that promote development, while acting as a learning lab for Tubmans parents. The co-op offers free childcare daily from 9 to 4 in exchange for each parents agreement to commit 3 hours weekly to the center. The Tubman program also guides parents in establishing a strong attachment through Child Interaction Therapy, and family recreation. Residents visit ArtBeast regularly to learn the value of process based play and arts exploration in early childhood, an enrichment often denied Tubmans client base. After graduating from Tubman, clients can continue to connect to an environment that promotes growth for their children by using their free ArtBeast membership. These memberships not only provide access to the environment, they connect Tubman residents to the larger parenting community and facilitate aftercare contact between the client and Tubman staff. Over 150 Tubman clients have free access to ArtBeasts play spaces and classes.

Activity 3

Through its Tubman House program, Waking the Village provides 18 months of shelter to each client by providing beds at its two sites for 8 young adults between ages 18 to 21 and all of their accompanying children. In 2008 Waking the Village was awarded 871,000 to purchase both its sites by Californias Housing and Community Development Department through Emergency Housing and Assistance Program Capital Development Deferred Loan Prop 46 program. Waking the Village makes no payments on these loans which are forgiven after Waking the Village provides 10 years of housing to the young, homeless parents and children served by Tubman House.
