Partner Spotlight: Capital One

For more than 2 decades, Capital One has generously given their time, treasure, and talent to support Villa children and families. Over the last year, hundreds of employees volunteered more than 600 hours! They’ve been leaders in supporting our annual Season of Hope campaign, and have even helped improve Villa systems by streamlining our admissions process for educational programs, supporting new budgeting software for our finance department, enhancing our onboarding process with our HR team, and creating online forms for our Housing and Homeless Services program. Capital One’s investment in the Villa is second to none, and we are so grateful for their compassion and care for the community!

Career & Transition Services students celebrated with their VCU mentors and received awards after their Film Festival premieres.

The project culminated in a celebratory Film Festival at VCU, where all four movies were screened: Love on the Slopes Summer Skies , a love story; Don’t Wake Me Up, a comedy; Carl’s House , a morality tale; and NFL Drama, an action/adventure film. Students, teachers, and friends ate popcorn and watched the films, and awards were given to students for their contributions, positive energy, and creative talent. The audience liked the finished products so much, they watched them twice!

We look forward to year ten of partnering with VCU’s Focused Inquiry class!
