JOIN US IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES

  • Resume Writing and Job Search: Work one-on-one to help women strengthen their resumes and search for jobs.
  • Mock Interviews: Conduct mock interviews with women to help build their confidence, offering positive feedback and suggestions for improvement.
  • Clothing Bank: Professional clothing donations ensure WEN graduates are appropriately attired for interviews and the workplace. Assist with upkeep of the clothing bank.

  • WEN Works: Businesses host WEN women in training for customized company tours to help them expand their understanding of succeeding in the workplace. WEN Works visits often include special presentations, receptions, and mock interviews.
  • Training Sponsors: Businesses and organizations can “adopt” a group of women in a five-week training session. Training sponsors contribute orientation and graduation gifts for each woman such as padfolios, planners, motivational items, flowers, etc.
