EMPOWERING WOMEN, CHANGING LIVES We have seen first hand how positive change in the life of just one woman can create a ripple effect to impact her ENTIRE COMMUNITY! You can provide vital training and a new future... LOCAL AND GLOBAL IMPACT Our U.S program works in conjunction with our global "Women's Economic Empowerment" initiative to empower women at risk in Rwanda, Kenya, India, Haiti, Peru, and other parts of the world by producing items in underprivileged communities and empowering women across the entire supply chain. The central thrust of our mission is formed around poverty reduction through training and job creation. Rather than creating dependency on aid, Full Circle Exchange takes a market-based approach to alleviate poverty. Our efforts have been recognized by the University of Oxford, and our model of empowerment is currently being studied in the U.S. and Africa. Through our on site innovative non-profit social enterprise, we are able to train women in an actual business environment, producing real items of beauty and value. While improving vital job skills necessary to permanent employment and self-reliance, each group of women from our Job Readiness Program are able to create a unique collection of products that they can share with the world! Help the women of our Job Readiness Program launch their next handmade collection! Each Handmade Collections is a tangible way to help women to see their their future in a new light. In donating to our program, purchasing the collection products, and sharing the story you continue to confirm that women can change their world through their unique insight and talents. OUR GOAL - CHANGE A WOMEN'S LIFE Help us meet our goal to raise $150,000 by October 15th, 2015 to expand our U.S Job Readiness Program and to empower women at risk around the globe! Once in poverty, women face additional obstacles from men, such as childcare, domestic abuse, and other barriers that hinder her from reaching her fullest potential. In the United States 1 in 3 American women lives on or near the brink of poverty. Our holistic program provides transitional income, on-the-job training, and vital enrichment opportunities needed to overcome the barriers to employment. They allow women to see unrealized possibilities through new eyes, creating a better future – for themselves and their family Through our multifaceted approach, we work with each woman to create a pathway to empowerment through 4 components: 1. TRANSITIONAL INCOME - Part Time transitional Job (3- 6 Month program), flexible work schedule for family obligations, transportation challenges, and job placement support. 2. JOB READINESS - Soft skills that are lacking in entry level applicants, resume building, interview training, work etiquette, leadership training, goal setting 3. EDUCATION GROWTH - English Classes, computer skills training, financial literacy, Career Pathways 4. EMOTIONAL GROWTH - Art and music therapy and mentorship ABOUT OUR WORK IN 2014 Full Circle Exchange launched a new U.S Job Readiness program to assist economically disadvantaged women to move out of dependency and into self-reliance. By providing transitional employment through the production of beautiful hand made greeting cards and accessories and offering daily hands-on job training skills, women have the opportunity to HEAL, GROW and CONNECT in a safe and supportive environment. OUR PROGRESS Since the launch of the pilot program in January we have graduated over 200 women and produced over 250,000 handmade accessories and gift boxes, which have been lovingly purchased and gifted by women, to women, all over the world! In the last 12 months, we have trained and created jobs and improved livelihoods for over 3000 women in the U.S and across the globe. HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP! 1.
