Review for Wider Opportunities for Women Inc, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved with hundreds of non-profit organizations--including in past years working as a federal advocate for women. WOW has the best track record I have ever seen of really serving working women as well as women looking for work. They simply 'get it' when it comes to the challenges of helping women get better access to better paying jobs. They also do a fine job educating policy makers about how low income women and their families can get out of poverty AND remain economically stable for good!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Seeing how WOW was able to get New York City to adopt their innovative self-sufficiency calculator [showing what it really cost to live in NYC] as a training tool for women and public assistance case managers.
