About Us
1 Big Village was created with the steadfast belief that every woman deserves a meaningful opportunity to rebuild her life and move forward with dignity, stability, and hope. Our commitment is unwavering as we dedicate ourselves to supporting justice-impacted women during their crucial transition back into their communities, helping them work toward a more secure and independent future filled with possibilities.
We recognize that successful reentry into society involves overcoming many obstacles and challenges that can feel daunting. That’s why our comprehensive support system focuses on six essential areas: housing, employment, life skills, mental health support, clothing assistance, and peer support. By thoughtfully bringing these vital resources together, we empower women to address their immediate needs while simultaneously developing the tools, skills, and confidence necessary for achieving long-term success in their lives.
At 1 Big Village, community is at the very heart of everything we do. We genuinely believe that lasting change happens when women have a strong support network of people in their corner who believe in their potential and are wholly committed to helping them succeed. Located in the vibrant metro Atlanta area, we are passionate about extending our services and resources to assist women in their journeys toward rebuilding their lives.
Together, we empower. Together, we rebuild. Together, we thrive. Our collective efforts create a brighter future not just for the women we serve but for our entire community.
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.
