Save Our Sisters
|
In 2018, the Urban League implemented the Save Our Sisters program, a holistic wraparound service for all aspects of life for the everyday woman from any walk of life. With the Urban League - Save Our Sisters program, women are being helped to reach their full potential. Save Our Sisters holds workshops several Saturdays out of the month from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. with a separate track being offered to women who are interested in becoming entrepreneurs that meets on weekday evenings.
All Save Our Sisters participants also have direct access to all the safety net and economic opportunity services that are provided through the Urban League including employment, education, rental, mortgage and utility assistance. |

In addition, there is a case manager who works directly with Save Our Sisters participants to serve their individual needs. Save Our Sisters has been a lifeline to many of the women participating in the program. Through surveys and one-on-one meetings, we have found that women are facing threats to their lives, health and well-being as a result of being overburdened with work and of their lack of power and influence. Save Our Sisters is designed to assist women in their effort to reach, expand, increase, build and explore the essence of their being and to nurture the power from within. The goal of the program is to empower women to walk away stronger, more knowledgeable and more fearless than when they first entered the life-changing experience of Save Our Sisters.
To date, 545 women have benefited directly from Save Our Sisters. The program has provided the oxygen to women to live life to the best of their potential and to break free of the burdens that were holding them back. This is being accomplished through mind & body wellness, healthy relationships, life skills education, career re-inspiration, entrepreneurship, finance and mentoring. Save Our Sisters also provides networking opportunities to build relationships and share different ideas with women whom they otherwise may not have come in contact with, if not for the program.
