The women empowerment program aims to teach low income and vulnerable women to overcome difficult situations by giving them tools through education to improve their quality of life and of their families'. Volunteers can help better the livelihood of Costa Rican women by teaching them useful skills and improving their self-esteem.
As a volunteer in the women empowerment program, you will be working in various areas of the project like:
-Education: Volunteers can teach skills that are useful to the women in the project. Common subjects include basic financial literacy, entrepreneurship coaching, income generating side projects, organizational and time management skills, etc.
-Psychological support: Some women attending this project come from abusive situations and support is always needed to help them gain confidence once again. The support can include self-esteem workshops or if you have the necessary experience, it can be in the form of psychological consultation.
-Marketing: Volunteers can help to market products made by women in the project and to help the project gain more visibility. Help in marketing can be digital or through traditional means.
