The Village Lansing

Mission: To impact lives and change the paths that lead to gun violence.

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit attacking youth gun violence from every angle; prevention, intervention, and support. In the Fall of 2019, a shooting at Ferris Park left the 5th victim of gun violence that year, a 17 year old, dead and 2 others wounded. Our co-founder Michael Lynn Jr., put a call out to influential and involved individuals in our community and The Village Lansing was born.

We began by holding Fellowship BBQ’s in the park. In 2020 we opened our physical space to provide our programs and services in. We hold organized outreach events to strengthen our relationships within our communities which also serve as a way to distribute donated items. We also partner with existing organizations and resources to get local resources to those that need them. Our programs and services focus on youth in middle and high school,  young adults ages 18-25, and their families.
