Empowering Mums (EM)
The Empowering Mums Project is a dedicated community service initiative of the YWCA to help back-to-work mothers from low-income families become empowered to improve their employment situation from a holistic view. The project runs a free 10-week schedule of group work and employability skills workshops culminating in a makeover and graduation, with periodic employment opportunities, to support mothers on their journey of self-driven change.
We are seeking facilitators for workshops and mentors to guide the mothers through their journey back to employment, as well as any sponsors or donors who can help prepare them too. We are also looking for childminders to look after the children so that the mums can learn with peace of mind, knowing their children are in safe hands. Childminders will help meet the children’s basic care needs, such as ensuring they finish their provided dinner and taking them to the restroom whilst engaging them in their respective activities. This helps prepare children to transition to other care when their mums eventually return to employment.
