Women Supporting Women

Power With A Purpose (PWAP) provides support to women in Montgomery County who are in employment transition through the Employment, Advancement and Retention Network (EARN).

As women transition back into the workforce it is an opportunity for personal growth.  A new role can give a sense of accomplishment and independence but also may present challenges.  In many cases the stress of maintaining multiple roles and demands as a working woman can also impact physical, emotional and social well-being.

PWAP is unique program that will give EARN participants access to professional women from various business industries and at different stages of their careers, who will serve as conversation leaders and mentors. This will provide the women with the peer networking and mentorship they need to succeed in re-entering the workforce.

PWAP allows women to support and empower each other, ultimately enabling them to gain independence and financial stability through family-sustaining wage occupations.
