Economic Empowerment Institute for Women

YWCA offers an Economic Empowerment Institute for women that can help you find the right job, keep your career on the right path, save for school, become a homeowner, or invest in the stock market.

When you call us, you’ll be matched with one of our expert Empowerment Coaches, who will help you find the training, resources, and support you need to build a better life for yourself or for your family.  

Work one-on-one with an empowerment coach to:
•    Find and grow your career
•    Learn career advancement strategies
•    Strengthen computer and job skills
•    Increase your credit score
•    Expand financial knowledge
•    Develop saving and investing techniques

The YWCA provides coaching, financial literacy and technology training and offers access to the YWCA empowerment portal, an online suite of resources available 24 hours-a-day. We offer support, resources, guidance and encouragement to inspire you to achieve success.

The Economic Empowerment Institute is currently offered at the Laura Parks and Mildred Francis Center in the Greater Grand Crossing location (contact information below).  But stay tuned!  This program will be expanding to the West Side of Chicago and the South and West Suburbs in the very near future!
