Our Mission
To foster individual and collective resilience through building tight-knit community spaces, focused on the healing power of the creative arts, practical mutual aid, and inclusive spaces where neighbors can gather and grow.
Our Vision
To establish a Community Health Model that acts as an ecosystem for human connection and healing. Through five distinct houses of action, we operate programming in the creative arts, health and wellness, community meals and gatherings, grassroots events, and mutual aid for our neighbors.
Our pilot campus, The Hearth, acts as a local flagship in the heart of West Asheville as we build our capacity towards a brick-and-morter One Village Community Center for sustained impact.
The Community Health Ecosystem
A Community Health Ecosystem is an interconnected network of programs and services designed to support the whole person, not just one need at a time. At One Village, we weave that ecosystem together through five houses, so that a family might find us through a songwriting club, share a meal at the kitchen, and connect with wellness resources, all because everything is woven together by design.
The Hearth, our pilot campus in West Asheville, serves as a local community flagship for our different houses to run programs, events, and dinners that deepen the ties to our neighbors.
