The Village Market

The mission of Our Village United/ Village Market Atlanta is to grow and support Black solopreneurs and microbusinesses by delivering targeted technical assistance and shared professional services that empower business owners to grow their operations and scale their businesses. Dedicated to serving the whole business, the organization not only focuses on the health of the business, but also the health of the business owner by partnering with licensed wellness coaches and mental health practitioners to serve as mentors to small businesses. Its core belief is that by serving the whole business, the entire community prospers economically and holistically. AWBI provided a 6 month grant to support of Black-owned businesses in Atlanta in recovering from COVID, growing their revenues, and avoiding displacement by providing access to technical assistance and cooperative spaces, both physical and virtual through the Village Market Atlanta Ecosystem.
