Women's Employment Network in Brief

WEN serves women ages 18 and over who have a high school diploma or equivalent and are unemployed, under-employed, laid off, new to the workforce, or seeking to reenter the workplace. More than 75% of the women WEN serves live at or below the poverty line. At WEN, we understand that economic stability requires more than a resume. WEN works closely with each woman to resolve any personal barriers to economic stability.

WEN coordinates support with housing, health care, childcare, transportation, domestic abuse, legal counseling, substance abuse, and other areas where women need help to stabilize their lives as a foundation for workplace success.

Thank You to Our 2013 Sponsors
