Welcoming the Women of Session 96
|
Last week 24 women experiencing homelessness started Session 96 of our Job-readiness and Empowerment Program. Over the next nine weeks, these women will acquire education and skills, work toward their goals, build their confidence, and gain a community of support. Together, we celebrate these resilient women who have boldly taken this initial stride towards overcoming the barriers of homelessness, building a brighter future for themselves and their children, and creating lasting change in their lives.
