OUR PROGRAMS

We believe every individual is born with a desire to grow, learn, and connect.
At Agape Village, we encourage our clients to explore, engage, and discover their potential within a supportive environment.

Our program offers a variety of flexible, hands-on learning opportunities designed to meet individual needs and interests. Take a look below to see what we offer—you’ll find something for everyone!

FUNCTIONAL LIVING SKILLS

At Agape Village, our clients have daily opportunities to practice and grow in essential independent living skills that support success at home, in relationships, and within the community. This part of our program focuses on building confidence through real-life experiences and hands-on learning.

🗣️ Social Skills

We explore a variety of real-world topics that help clients navigate friendships, family relationships, and social situations. Lessons include managing emotions, resolving conflicts, handling public interactions appropriately, and developing mature, respectful communication in everyday life.

🏠 Daily Living Skills

Clients learn how to manage the tasks and routines of independent living. This includes developing skills related to home care, personal organization, navigating the community, building responsible habits, and interacting with peers in various settings.

💪 Health & Wellness

We emphasize the importance of taking care of both body and mind. Clients participate in activities like meal planning, making grocery lists, and regular exercise, while also learning strategies for maintaining good mental health and emotional well-being.

These skills are foundational for living a fulfilling, independent life—and we’re here to support each individual as they grow and thrive in their community.

Built with Purpose:
Agape Village Adaptive Fitness

At Agape Village, our adaptive fitness program, Built with Purpose, is designed to make movement accessible, meaningful, and fun for every client. Through weekly workouts—both in small groups and whole-group sessions—we focus on creating an inclusive space where all abilities are celebrated and supported.

Our goal is to help clients develop a healthy relationship with exercise while understanding that true wellness includes caring for the mind, body, and spirit. Whether it’s building strength, improving mobility, or just learning to enjoy movement, we encourage each person to discover what fitness means to them.

Most importantly, Built with Purpose helps our clients see firsthand that they are capable—capable of reaching goals, building confidence, and thriving in a space that can often feel intimidating: the gym. Here, we celebrate progress, empowerment, and the purpose behind every step forward.

Agape Village & Our Community

Agape Village builds meaningful relationships with organizations throughout Santa Clarita and beyond, expanding what we call our “community hub.” These partnerships provide valuable opportunities for our clients through volunteer work, vocational experiences, fitness programs, and more. Agape Village thrives because of strong community partnerships.

Valencia Hills Community Church

One of our most important relationships is with Valencia Hills Community Church. Their consistent support has been a cornerstone of our growth. From volunteering opportunities to hosting major events like Easter celebrations, Vacation Bible School, and the annual Christmas program, Valencia Hills is a valued partner in every sense. As with Valencia Hills Community Church, we are intentional about partnering with organizations where our clients can contribute, learn, and grow.

Our "Community Hub"

Some of our current partnerships include:

- My Yoga Canyon Country – providing monthly adaptive yoga sessions for our clients

- Finally Family Homes’ Oasis Resource Center – where our clients volunteer and give back

- Children’s Hunger Fund in Sylmar – a weekly volunteer site where we serve together

- CrossFit SCV – allowing us to utilize their space for our weekly adaptive fitness classes tailored to our clients’ needs

- Local retired art teachers – who volunteer their time for a monthly art club at Agape

- RISE Foundation – where we assist with seasonal community events and outreach

- The Local Pub & Grill – partnering with our client-run business, Agape Designs, to produce all of their restaurant merchandise; Agape Village is also one of their annually featured nonprofits, with 10% of proceeds from select charity items donated back to us during our spotlight month

Client Run Businesses

Agape Village is proud to operate two thriving, client-run businesses that provide meaningful job training and foster community integration: Just Brew It, our coffee shop, and Agape Designs, our heat press business.

Just Brew It

What began as a learning platform has blossomed into a vibrant community hub. Just Brew It is currently open twice a week on Tuesday and Friday. Our goal is to expand operations to five days a week and create employment opportunities for adults with special needs.

Every week, our clients prepare delicious breakfast casseroles and coffee cakes, paired with freshly brewed coffee from our partner, Joshua Tree Gourmet Coffee. The shop has become a gathering place for a wide range of community groups including Pickleball clubs, church groups, ladies' socials, and other special needs programs—who come to Valencia Town Center not only for the coffee, but for the welcoming environment created by our clients.

Agape Designs

Agape Designs, our heat press business, operates on an as-needed basis, producing custom orders for local churches, nonprofits, individuals, and even The Local Pub and Grill. Clients learn practical design and production skills while creating school uniforms, name tags, and seasonal apparel.

When there are no active orders, our clients shift to graphic design work, producing creative designs for T-shirts, mugs, tumblers, and sweatshirts. They also design merchandise for our Summer, Fall, and Spring camps. Watching the community come together to support and observe our clients in action is truly rewarding
