About Us
Our Mission, Vision, and Journey Towards Community Empowerment
Our Vision
At One Bartow, we dream of a united and equitable Bartow County that shines as a beacon for community growth and shared responsibility. We envision a future where our collective efforts inspire transformations far beyond our county's borders, setting a precedent for communities nationwide.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower Bartow County by uniting resources and organizations with community needs. Through fostering positive relationships and promoting equity and shared responsibility, we aim to create a stronger, more connected community.
Our Roots
Founded by Keecia Griffin Scott, a native of Cartersville and a passionate advocate for community empowerment, One Bartow was born out of a desire to harness the collective power of Bartow County's organizations and resources. After years of contributing to various community causes through the Bartow County Social Club and the BRIGHT program, Keecia recognized the need for a unified approach to address the community's diverse needs. With the support of her family and the community, One Bartow was established to fulfill this vision.
Our Strategy & Impact
Unifying Resources for Greater Impact
Our approach is simple yet powerful: connect, empower, and unite. By acting as a conduit between diverse community resources and smaller organizations, we address common causes and needs more effectively. Our initiatives, including Youth and Career Development, BRIGHT, and Connect Community Resources, are designed to deliver tangible support while nurturing positive relationships within the community.
​
Through our strategic initiatives and the support of our community, we've made significant strides in empowering the youth, supporting our seniors, and aiding families in need. Our programs are more than just assistance; they're a step towards building a cohesive, empowered community that can sustain itself and inspire others.
