It Takes A Village; Youth and Family Organization was founded in 2014 by Matthew Jones. ​ I.T.A.V. is a registered 501 c3  non-profit organization with the State of Missouri.

 

Our focus is on building up youth, family and the community. Since the formation of I.T.A.V. we have been able to coach and mentor young people through various sports, community service projects, taking youth to Leadership Ranch to work on communication and team building. 

 

I.T.A.V. continues to strive to work with youth in the community. The focus is still community, youth and mentorship. I.T.A.V. now has a group of speakers who have made positive changes in their lives and are volunteering their time to go and speak with any organizations, youth groups, group homes and  schools.​ In their conversation they speak about their past and some of the things they went through. With their test they give their testimony on how they were able to make positive changes in their lives.
