Your Path to Success
Empowering Single Mothers
The Single Moms Empowerment Project at Project You is dedicated to providing economic empowerment to marginalized, low-income women. This initiative targets single mothers who are living below the national poverty line, victims of domestic violence, homeless, unemployed, African American, Hispanic, and immigrant women.
By partnering with other not-for-profit organizations and healthcare agencies in NYC, we create employment opportunities that open doors to financial freedom for our community members. The work we do is critical in ensuring the economic success of struggling single mothers in New York City. Given that single mothers represent a significant percentage of female-headed households, it is vital to equip them with the necessary tools to succeed in the workforce.
According to the US Census, single moms are one of the most disadvantaged groups in the U.S. - nearly 30% of their families live under the poverty line
Program Objectives
Our Mission: Empowering Lives
Our program aims to support 100 struggling single mothers each year through rigorous training and job placement assistance. The Single Moms Empowerment Project at Project You is more than just a training program; it is a pathway to economic independence and a better future. This project addresses the gap for women who are unable to secure sponsorship through agencies, particularly those with multiple children who may face barriers due to their background or availability. Specifically, we offer:
