Empower Village
We are not just a place of learning; we are a community committed to unlocking the potential within each and every individual.
Our Story
Welcome to Empower Village, where we are committed to peoples needs through education and mentorship.
The Mission
Our objective is aimed towards setting a stable and sustaining career for Japanese adults who have just grown out of their institutions/orphanages. By partnering with other companies, these young adults are given the opportunity to make an international impact with their aspirations.
The Vision
Our journey began with a passion for making a positive impact in the lives of young people. Before establishing Empower-Village, Michael dedicated himself to nurturing and supporting youths from institutionalized homes through a non-profit organization, YouMeWe. This experience ignited a deep-rooted commitment to education and empowerment through coaching, leading to the creation of Empower-Village.
Nurturing Potential
Driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to quality education, Michael’s vision evolved into a platform that not only empowers individuals through learning but also creates opportunities for personal and professional growth.
With a rich history of supporting those in need, we bring this same dedication and passion to Empower-Village, where we are dedicated to fostering an environment where individuals can thrive and achieve their full potential.
Be A Part of Our Journey
We invite you to be part of our story at Empower Village, where we are dedicated to fostering a culture of learning, growth, and empowerment. Together, let’s embark on a journey of discovery and achievement.
