WomenCare works to address the full spectrum of issues affecting women and their families.
The mentoring program is focused on serving the needs of women who are in the initial stages of gaining independence and self-sufficiency.
Currently, the program serves women primarily in Delaware County, PA and several surrounding counties.
Though we work in collaboration with social service agencies such as PathwaysPA and the Domestic Abuse Project of Delaware County (DAP), the program is open to women in the wider community.
To attend our upcoming Mentor Training on April 25th, please call 610-565-6171 or email Jane Todd at Jane@TheCF.org for details.
WomenCare Mentors
Through WomenCare, local women are placed into supportive relationships with women volunteers, called Mentors, who are more experienced in life and work.
WomenCare Mentors work with Partners in areas such as:
- Budget management
- Career readiness or advancement
- Communication and problem solving
- Personal growth
- Balancing family and work
- Education
Become a Mentor
WomenCare Partners
Because we believe that everyone needs help sometimes, we call our WomenCare participants "Partners." We interview and screen Partners to establish their needs and make the best match with a Mentor.
Any woman who seeks help in developing her vision for the future can apply to be a Partner, including:
- Low income women
- Single mothers
- Survivors of domestic abuse
- Women going back to school
- Women who've recently moved to this country
- Women trying to get off of public assistance
Partner Training & Activities
Training is provided for Partners along with on-going support and contact supervision. Regular group activities are also planned by WomenCare. All training and programs are free, and all participants receive assistance with childcare and transportation costs related to the program.
Eligible WomenCare Partners may also have the opportunity to participate in our young parents program, which supports job readiness and career development goals.
Get a Mentor
Any woman who seeks help in developing her vision for the future is welcome to apply to be matched with a WomenCare Mentor.
