The women empowerment program exists to
help women overcome tough situations and empower themselves through
education and psychological support. The program has different
educational modules that improve with the constant work of staff and
volunteers. The majority of the workshops are focused on
income-generating skills, as to give a lot of the women in the project
financial independence. Volunteers in women empowerment are tasked with :
–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.
Depending on availability, people working in this program maybe assigned to a private project or a governmental project working towards women empowerment.
Please note that at least Basic Spanish is needed to work in this
project, enough to verbally communicate . Spanish lessons are available
at an extra cost before starting the project.
