Dear Friend,
During these unprecedented economic times so many people, especially women, are looking for guidance and direction. Thanks to funding from the Leir Charitable Foundations, WJCS has launched Women-Helping- Women (W-H-W) to provide encouragement, information, resources and services through workshops for women who are unemployed or seeking transition to other jobs.
Over the past several weeks, W-H-W reached out to diverse women whose lives have been affected by the current downturn in the economy. Through Focus Groups those women told us what tools and resources would be most helpful to them. Armed with that information, W-H-W developed a workshop series to provide useful and practical information.
We hope you'll join us for one or all of these free sessions. If you have a friend, relative or neighbor who could benefit from these workshops, please pass on this information. Remember, we are all links in the chain of Women- Helping-Women.
