Woman-to-Woman (WtW) addresses the multiplicity of factors contributing to the unemployment or under-employment of low-income mothers, including low skill levels, low self-esteem, lack of childcare, and lack of professional role models. WtW is a personal, individualized job training program focused on skill development workshops and on the strength of mentoring relationships to empower mothers to become self-supporting. WtW seeks to create a community of professional staff, mentors, volunteers, and business partners who provide a resource base for women seeking successful employment while simultaneously strengthening their families. Twenty families will participate in the first year.
