Women and Work - A Partnership for Empowerment Free job-skills and life-management classes for women. To date, W&W has successfully guided 1,800 women and families out of poverty into economic stability.

Women and Work Executive Summary

Women and Work (W&W) began as a straightforward job-skills training program in 1998 with the intent of providing entry-level employment for displaced homemakers; over time, Women and Work has evolved into a Community that fully engages in the lives of our participants and graduates to ensure their social welfare. Our participants are the most underserved populatio

n in New York City; they are comprised of survivors of domestic and family violence, single mothers, immigrants, displaced homemakers, and downsized or low-wage workers. The goal of our partnership is to empower women with an infrastructure of skills capable of supporting long-term, intergenerational change and to move them from their present marginalized status to one of social inclusion. In 2010, Women and Work was re-envisioned and a community outreach component, Women Partnering for Change (WPFC) became part of the W&W infrastructure, which provided a vehicle for the program’s public education presentations and for its role as a community partner advocating for social justice on behalf of marginalized women. Since its inception in 1998 Women and Work has never been on a hiatus and has always remained free to women-in-need; the program’s midtown Manhattan location makes it easily accessible by public transportation for women across New York City’s five boroughs. By always listening to the voices of the women we serve, we are able to understand and address their unmet needs. One of the program’s greatest accomplishments is graduating women empowered to advocate on their own behalf. Women and Work honors its commitment to systemic change by investing in individuals and ensuring a better future for children, families, and communities.

“The strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.”
