Women Empowering Women will pair professional women with women preparing to rejoin the community following involvement in local or state correctional systems. The focus will
be on supporting the women to be self-sufficient – particularly in regards to employment – with a goal to not just obtain employment, but to find careers. Mentoring these women as they work to establish a positive work history, go to school, or participate in training will enable them to make more realistic decisions, set attainable goals, gain self-confidence, and establish a personal support system. Participants must agree to meet together at least twice monthly for six months.
