The Saint John Women’s Empowerment Network (SJWEN) will virtually launch Power Up! Saint John, a free 10-week leadership empowerment and training program to help women move forward in their lives next week.
“Power Up! is our signature program here at the Women’s Empowerment Network,” said Executive Director Sharon Amirault. “It focuses on everything from working in a group, connecting with others, connecting with your community, getting to know your community and building skills for the next steps in your life.”
Amirault explained one of the best ways to combat and move people out of poverty is to help them find meaningful and gainful employment. Power Up! does this through helping participants figure out they want to do next with their lives, along with teaching the insight, skills and knowledge to accomplish their goals.
