Support a DC Project

Help the District’s low-income women benefit from the city’s economic boom.

WOW’s Washington Area Women in the Trades project – a collaborative effort with the YWCA of the National Capital Area and the Community Services Agency of the Metropolitan Washington – is preparing local women to work in the trades.  To date, 20 women have graduated from this pre-apprenticeship program and been placed in local apprenticeships.

Your gift can help WOW prepare more low-income women for careers that will support themselves and their families.

• $ 300 will cover the cost of one woman’s lunch and transportation needs during the 12-week program.
• $ 600 will cover the cost of tools for five women in the WAWIT program.
• $ 75 will cover the cost of construction math and reading textbooks for 5 women.
