Mission Statement
The mission of The Ladder Alliance is to provide women victims of domestic violence or low income women with the tools to lead self-reliant, independent and successful lives.
Description
The Ladder Alliance teaches marketable job skills to help our clients become self-reliant and independent.
The computer skills program teaches our clients how to use a computer, a skill required for most jobs in today's technological work place. The skills they learn are how to type, the basics of Microsoft Word and Excel, how to use the Internet, and email.
The computer skills curriculum is broken into modules with the following lengths for each module: typing - 6 weeks, Internet/email and Word - 12 weeks and Excel - 8 weeks. Students receive a certificate of completion after each module.
While teaching skills, we seek to rebuild student's self-esteem and self-confidence through our "Best I Can Be" program. We start each class with a motivational segment and help students transition from an attitude of "I can't" to an attitude of "I know I can!"
In order to assist students with barriers to attendance, we provide childcare and dinner for all students and their children at no cost during the evening classes.

Great organization with a heart for helping women thrive.

This was the most rewarding volunteer experience, watching women grow in confidence as much as they did in their computer skills. The students and staff were such a pleasure!

Everyone is very friendly and encouraging there not only to the students but to the volunteers also. It's a great place for women to be empowered to succeed. The center is very easy to get to and is on the bus route.
