Empowered Choices for Kansas City Women

By Erin Cole | Chief Development Officer

When you support Women’s Employment Network (WEN), you’re supporting empowered choices for women in Kansas City. At WEN, women who are unemployed, underemployed, and/or trapped in the cycle of poverty have access to resources designed to help them pursue career advancement, financial security, and personal wellbeing. Our organization provides options that suit every need and lifestyle.

WEN continues to offer the three-week Three Pillars to Success in-person course (est. 2022), empowering women to focus on themselves, recommit to their goals, and renew their passion as they take steps toward financial independence. After two years spent refining this on-site program, we’re preparing to roll out its complement and the newest option for clients: the online WEN Anytime program.

WEN Anytime fosters connection and encourages networking among participants in a flexible and accessible four-week online training module designed to equip women with the tools, knowledge, and insights they need to pursue their desired career.

In this program, participants will…

  • Strengthen workplace skills including communication with peers and supervisors.
  • Develop professional skills including remote collaboration and adaptability.
  • Enhance personal skills including time management, stress management, and goal setting.
  • Improve interview skills.
  • Create a personal budget.

This Year's Goals

WEN’s 2024-25 series of programs and services is underway, taking place July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. We’re working to achieve three targeted objectives this year:

  • Demonstrate program relevancy by engaging 1,000 new clients.
  • Improve employment and financial management skills for 1,400 clients through program and service delivery including workshops, customized individual services, and financial coaching.
  • Improve the financial stability of 200 clients through one-on-one financial coaching and education.
