1. Why should Community members care about homeless women?
- They are our sisters.
- They have the potential to become great citizens and leaders
2. What are some of the changes you have seen from women who have attended Communicate With Confidence:
They have grown in self esteem and respect for themselves and others. They ‘get it’ that they are someone who can change the world. They have a greater incentive to remain clean and sober and can influence others to do so. They realize that D.V. is not acceptable.
3. How have the women changed who have graduated from the Leadership program?
They have become happier in themselves and able to show that in their smiles, their body language and their testimony. They are no longer ashamed but can and do speak and act with confidence. They have a support system in place that helps them be content with who they are and where they are at in this phase of their lives. They can let go of the past, and not be haunted or deterred by it.
