Building A Safer, Healthier,
More Equitable New Orleans
Ubuntu Village is a Black-led, multi-racial organization working to protect our community from violence, systemic racism, and mass incarceration while building the supportive, thriving village we deserve.
What We Do
Violence Interruption
Our team of Peace Ambassadors mediates conflicts in the community and works to prevent retaliatory shootings.
Alternatives to Prosecution and Incarceration
Our INSTEAD program diverts people from court and provides holistic, community-based case management.
Family Support and Organizing
Our Parent Navigators help families in the juvenile legal system and provide spaces for healing, mutual aid, and collective action.
“I am because we are.”
Ubuntu is a Zulu word that speaks to our shared humanity and the responsibility we have to take care of one another. This philosophy guides both what we do and how we do it: with empathy, mutual respect, and collaboration.
