In collaboration with Boys to Men and the YWCA Southern Arizona a new program to help building communication skills between Mothers and Daughters.

Promotoras

Year-long training institute in Spanish for women who wish to become advocates for other women experiencing gender violence. The Promotora program includes training in leadership and community organizing and legal rights for immigrants. Participants receive training in prevention/intervention in domestic violence (October), sexual violence ( April), and stalking (January). Each training is 4 days long, Monday to Thursday from 9am-12pm. Participants also participate in “know your rights” training for immigrant communities. This is a hands-on leadership training course in which participants cultivate and practice their leadership skills while they raise social awareness on gender violence and issues that impact immigrant communities.

Mi Vida and Mi Carrera

A 12-week program divided into two parts:

Week 1-6: Personal Empowerment

This personal development program helps Latinas find resources to stabilize their lives, as well as build their own strengths and self-confidence. Confidence and independence will be cultivated for each individual, preparing to begin planning and prioritizing to successfully fulfill their dreams and goals.

Week 6-12: Professional Empowerment

Designed to identify the professional development needs of women who are unemployed, looking to open a business, or go back to school. The intention of this program is to help the participant to have self-confidence and obtain the necessary skills in their professional development. During this class, participants will be paired with professionals in the community for career counseling. In Mi Carrera participants learn to:

• Establish priorities, goals and the steps to follow them
• Identify professional interests
