Our Pride Our Village (OPOV) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded by Carmalita Ruffin, CEO. Their mission is to uplift underrepresented women, young adults, and children. They focus on five key pillars: Mental Health, Career, Education, Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship. They believe these five pillars will cultivate a supportive environment that encourages personal growth and professional development. They aim to empower individuals to create positive change, enhance well-being, and build thriving communities. An important way to empower underrepresented communities is getting these individuals registered to vote.

Our Pride Our Village programs exist to remove barriers and achieve the mission of empowering minds and transforming lives. At Our Pride Our Village, we center our efforts around mental health, making it the heartbeat of our mission. It's not just a component; it forms the very foundation of what we stand for. Alongside mental health, our pillars of education, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and career development intersect. This interconnected approach is driven by our commitment to empowering underrepresented communities, particularly women and children. Our ultimate goal is to foster empowerment, and equity, and pave the way for prosperous futures for both individuals and their families.
