Thriving Families,
Strong Communities
Village Arms is dedicated to building community capacity, strengthening the village, and creating a network of support where every family feels seen, valued, and able to overcome adversity. We focus on the empowerment of families, encouraging them to create their own solutions. We believe that African American families have the wisdom, strength, and resources to thrive, and our role is to support them.
Collaboration, Collective Responsibility
Our work at Village Arms is collaborative and rooted in the belief that “the village is responsible for the village.” We understand that sustainable change requires collective effort.
We work alongside community members, organizations, and policymakers to create solutions that reflect the needs of our community; reshaping systems that have historically harmed us
