Helping Women Lead and Inspire

The Women's Leadership Institute provides a leadership training and career coaching program for women who have been overcome adversity including domestic violence, substance abuse, and homelessness. In our third successful year, our Leadership Intensive has proven to be an effective and empowering model of training and support for women who have experienced hardship. Each year, our community partners, 12 local non-profit agencies that serve victims and homeless women, nominate their clients who show leadership abilities and a drive to succeed to our program. These women are interviewed and 8-10 are selected to participate in our year-long program.

Our Mission
To empower women who have overcome adversity to be leaders in their own lives, their families and communities.

Our Vision
