Our Purpose
Providing women with a space to feel empowered, courageous and supported to build opportunities for them to strive for personal and professional fulfillment.
Circles of Empowerment
Tactics
Circles of Empowerment will consist of groups of women from a variety of backgrounds, careers and ages, yet all sharing a skill, passion or purpose in life. To begin we would like to have women with shared visions come together in groups of 10-12.Group topics will be able to be determined by the needs/wants of those involved, ensuring they are receiving the greatest benefit on a personal and professional level. The frequency of meetings will also depend on the groupsí preferences. Any of the YWCA sites will be able to hosts to groups, at a site most convenient for the majority of the group members.
Benefits
Circles of Empowerment will provide an empowered space for women to express emotion, share ideas, and develop relationships for lasting friendships in a supportive group setting.The circles will provide a platform for new ideas in the business landscape of the Great Lakes Bay Region to ensure women are placed in critical role within these business ventures. Women can feel comfortable to live out passions with the strong support of empowered women around them.
