Imagine…
…if all Vermont women were able to earn enough to support themselves and their families.  At Vermont Works for Women, we’re addressing this social challenge with innovative solutions. Our unique programming helps girls and women, ages 11 to 60 and from a wide diversity of backgrounds, engage their passions, live up to their true potential, and start on a path to sustainable economic independence.

For women
Some of our programs focus on non-traditional careers – building trades, renewable energy and efficiency, and law enforcement. Others support women new to the workplace with part-time transitional jobs, mentors and life skills classes. For women coming into the community after incarceration, we provide a range of services that allow participants to form long-term relationships with a volunteer mentor, learn new skills and develop a plan for supporting themselves upon their release.

For girls
Eleven-year-old girls and economic independence? Children develop opinions about their abilities at an early age. Our Rosie’s Girls Summer Program, a day camp for girls entering 6th to 8th grade, and other programs such as our annual Women Can Do conference for high school girls, introduce young women to technical activities and the skilled trades. Our aim is not necessarily to encourage girls to choose a specific career but rather to help them develop the capacities and confidence to go forward in the world with eagerness and self-confidence – and with a sense that they can be or do whatever they wish.

Commitment
Achieving economic independence is not a one-step process. It’s a progression over time. At Vermont Works for Women, we’re committed to supporting and inspiring women at every step along the way. Over 80% of our program graduates find jobs. Good for them, good for their families and good for Vermont.
