1 Big Village
At 1 Big Village, we believe every woman deserves the opportunity to move forward, rebuild, and create a future filled with stability, purpose, and independence. We support justice-impacted women as they navigate the challenges of reentry by connecting them with the resources, guidance, and community they need to begin their next chapter. Through safe housing, employment support, life skills training, mental health support, clothing assistance, and peer-led support, we’re building more than a pathway forward—we’re creating a village where women are empowered to overcome barriers, regain confidence, and thrive.

About Us
1 Big Village believes every woman deserves a chance to rebuild her life with dignity, stability, and hope. We support justice-impacted women as they reenter their communities and pursue security and independence.
Successful reentry involves overcoming challenges, which is why we focus on six areas: housing, employment, life skills, mental health, clothing assistance, and peer support. By providing these resources, we help women meet immediate needs and gain the tools for long-term success.
Community is central to our mission. We believe true change occurs when women have supporters who believe in their potential and drive their success.
Together, we empower. Together, we rebuild. Together, we thrive.
Why Choose 1 Big Village?
At 1 Big Village, we understand that rebuilding a life takes more than one service—it takes a strong support system. Our approach is centered on providing justice-impacted women with practical resources, compassionate guidance, and a supportive community designed to help them move toward lasting independence.
What Makes Us Different
Whole-Person Support
We address multiple challenges of reentry by providing support with housing, employment, life skills, mental wellness, clothing, and peer connections.
A Supportive Village
No woman should have to navigate reentry alone. We create an environment where women can feel supported, encouraged, and connected throughout their journey.
Focused on Independence
Our goal goes beyond immediate assistance. We help women develop the skills, confidence, and resources needed to build stable, self-sufficient lives.
Peer-Led Connection
Support from people who understand the challenges of starting over can make a meaningful difference. Peer mentorship provides encouragement, accountability, and connection.
Breaking the Cycle
By addressing barriers that can make successful reentry difficult, 1 Big Village works to reduce recidivism and create opportunities for long-term stability and success.
At 1 Big Village, we don’t just provide resources—we help women rebuild, reconnect, and thrive.
