Bay Area Non-Profit: C.E.O. Women

Knowing how you all value the idea of women helping women, I wanted to share with you an impressive non-profit that I've gotten involved with recently: Creating Economic Opportunities for Women (C.E.O. Women).

The mission of C.E.O. Women is to create economic opportunities for low-income immigrant and refugee women through teaching English, communications, and entrepreneurship skills, so they can establish successful livelihoods. C.E.O. Women then provides women with intensive mentoring, coaching, and access to capital needed to start a small business.

I am sure that many women in the YourOnRamp network have professional experiences and skills that could be leveraged to help these immigrant entrepreneurs. It's a great way to utilize your skills and talents while giving back to the community and directly helping these women build successful careers for themselves.

There will be a volunteer training session on June 23rd for people to learn more about becoming a business coach and working with C.E.O. Women clients. There also are several job openings currently, which should be posted on the YourOnRamp job board. You can learn more about the organization on their website:
