Job Description:

We are a young organization experiencing fast growth. Our mission is to create jobs that help women in recovery flourish. Since launching in November 2018, we have created 83 jobs for local women in recovery who are transitioning back into the workforce.

We offer them an opportunity to earn an income, hone new skills, and plan their next move - in a judgment-free, safe, and nurturing environment. With your help, we can change the trajectory of women’s lives. We create jobs through our social enterprise, a product-based e-commerce shop hosted on Etsy, a global marketplace for handmade goods. This approach enables us to self-fund a portion of our program while giving our program participants relevant and marketable work experience.
