Raphael Village is founded on principles that integrate education, community life, life-sharing, and the arts to meet the needs of youth with developmental disabilities. This focus helps young people find their way into a productive adult life through a nurturing and sustainable environment. Located in the historic Irish Channel neighborhood, Raphael Village is a new model for the southeast region and combines Raphael Academy, The Guild, and a future residential program. Raphael Academy is a state-accredited, private school for special needs students in pre-K through 12th grade. The Guild provides post-secondary education for adults with disabilities, including vocational and life-skills training, volunteering at local businesses, social opportunity, and artist guild training. A wonderful evening to include Gourmet Buffet * Live Music * Libations * Silent Auction * Electric Bike Raffle Please make checks payable to Raphael Village
