Last week, I graduated from Crittenton Women's Union Woman To Woman Program, a 12 week training program that teaches you computer skills and professional development to low income women in order to help them become economically self sufficient. It was overwhelming because of all the support I have gotten here. One of the components of the program is advocating for something you feel strongly about. My passion is helping victims of domestic violence and through the Woman to Woman program I learned how to do that and was able to start by writing blogs, and speaking out, telling my story to people and meeting with State Representative Linda Dorcena Forry. Now Im getting ready to begin college in September in the Human Service Work then on to work towards becomming a Licensed social worker. Also because of this organization I have opportunities I didn't even know about to do volunteer work for agencies such as Jane Doe. I think if more people knew about this organization so many others could benefit from all they have to offer. Thank you Crittenton Women's Union.
