Alicia Hopkins
Co-Founder & Director of Programs
As a single mother of a child with special needs, I know the power of having a strong support system. My journey has shown me that success is built through connection, mentorship, and community. That’s why I’m passionate about The Village Blueprint. I want to make sure we ensure no one has to navigate parenthood, education, or career pathways alone. I want to help create spaces where individuals like myself feel supported, empowered, and able to thrive.
April Stewart, LSW, SWC, Certified Doula
Co-Founder & Executive Director
This work matters deeply to me because I believe our communities are stronger when we come together to support one another. Every family deserves a village, a system of care that nurtures, uplifts, and provides support during life’s most challenging moments. When we invest in families, we create healthier children, stronger communities, and brighter futures for generations to come. Together, we can build the kind of community where no one has to face life’s challenges alone.
Autumn Conner, LSW

I am passionate about this work because I believe every person deserves access to the resources, support, and opportunities they need to succeed and thrive. I am committed to serving my community by breaking down barriers to care and ensuring support is equitable, accessible, and trauma-informed. I believe every family deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered, and I am dedicated to helping build a community where individuals and families have the tools and connections they need to flourish.
