We provide an array of education and training programs based on our unique four pillar approach. We focus on meeting and understanding our ancestors, financial literary, entrepreneurship and related training, faith-based training. We also conduct research, and strengthening support and responsiveness of community systems. And provide linkages that support existing programs and activities.

Education and Training

We offer:

• A leadership forum for community-women

• Financial literacy webinars

• Entrepreneurship and business webinars

• Sessions on health and wellness

• Honoring our ancestors training and information sessions

• Leadership Program: Know Your Community Resources and How to Use them

Linkages

In meeting the needs of our sisters, our goal is to use community resources more effectively and to bring innovation to all that we do. We support other community services and programs. We locate and refer those we serve to other programs that meet their needs. Our services fill gaps. That is, we offer services not readily available from other agencies and organizations.

Research

Our university partners help us to maintain our Scholar-in-Residence program which links our services to our history. We seek to understand health disparities and those factors that contribute to economic and family well being.

Community Responsiveness Report Card

Through our agency referrals, we create a way to support effective and efficient community agencies. At the end of the year, we issue a report and work with others who can advocate for our program participants.
