Profile: The Ladder Alliance

The Ladder Alliance is a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower women victims of domestic violence and other at-risk women to become self-sufficient and provide for their children.

We empower at-risk women who are often victims of domestic violence to become self-sufficient by providing training in computer skills such as Microsoft Word, Excel, email functionality and Internet usage. Other training includes keyboarding, resume preparation, and job interview techniques.

An equally important focus of our program is to help rebuild the student’s self-confidence and self-esteem.  Each class session begins with a motivational segment that encourages students to look inside themselves and find their infinite worth.  One of the greatest rewards of working with the families is to watch the rebirth of positive self-esteem.  Student transformation from an “I’m not capable” attitude to an “I can” attitude keeps volunteers and students engaged and excited.
