The Village PATH is a passionate organization that fosters healing through community and brotherhood. It offers a diverse array of services designed to uplift and support individuals, including The Village TAP, which provides free therapy, and The Healing and Writing Circle. The organization also hosts The Village Rites of Passage Empowerment Program for youth, alongside impactful events that champion the importance of Black mental health.

Since its inception in 2019, The Village PATH has made a profound impact on the community. It was co-founded by the inspiring Jermar Perry, who began the Healing and Writing Circle at the Thomas Dunn Learning Center. Jermar teamed up with Bryant Antoine after they crossed paths in the social work program at Saint Louis University, combining their visions to create something extraordinary.

Among the many remarkable events hosted by The Village PATH, "Father Figures" stands out. It showcases a powerful exhibit of Black fathers with their children, celebrating their bonds and experiences. Another is the "Unmasc" storytelling event, where men from all walks of life take the stage to share their personal journeys and reflect on how masculinity has shaped their identities. Through these initiatives, The Village PATH nurtures individual healing and builds a vibrant, supportive community.
