Our Goal

For the youth in our community to be safe, free, and alive.

Our Story

In the Fall of 2019, a tragic shooting at Ferris Park claimed the life of a 17-year-old and wounded two others—marking Lansing’s fifth gun violence fatality of that year. In response to the crisis, our co-founder, Michael Lynn Jr., mobilized a network of deeply rooted grassroots leaders to collectively address the trauma. From that urgent call to action, The Village Lansing was born.


We began with street outreach, launching Fellowship BBQs across every side of the city. We showed up with food, music, and an unconditional commitment to listen. By asking our people directly about their barriers and struggles, we built our foundation on real-time community needs, establishing the deep trust required to do real intervention work.


In 2020, we established our physical headquarters in South Lansing. This space became a safe, resource-dense sanctuary designed for proactive conflict resolution, life-skills workshops, and holistic, harm-reduction services that target the root causes of systemic violence.


Today, The Village Lansing is a premier community violence intervention pillar. We have scaled our early park fellowships into massive, annual community traditions that restore safety and unity to our neighborhoods. By deepening our relationship-based mentorship, expanding structured youth program architecture, and standing directly in the gap, we are actively disrupting the cycles of retaliatory gun violence to build a safer, thriving Lansing.

Safety and security don't just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.
