Pennsylvania Women Work (PWW) empowers individuals to advance in their careers and achieve self-sufficiency through life-changing career development programs and mentorship.

Since 1993, PWW’s programs have allowed job-seekers to join a network of like-minded people experiencing similar challenges. Through no-cost group workshops and one-on-one career coaching, participants join a community where they are surrounded by caring people to support them in achieving their goals and start, grow, or transition in their career.

About Pennsylvania Women Work

Regardless of where someone is on their career journey – just starting out, looking to advance, or experiencing a transition – PWW provides support every step of the way.

To get started, individuals are invited to schedule a career coaching session where they will create a custom path to success through PWW’s free programming. From one-day workshops, to week-long classes, to one-on-one mentoring and coaching, PWW addresses each individual’s barriers in an individualized setting.

Whatever their background may be, PWW’s goal is to help individuals attain economic mobility and a better quality of life. Over the last 30+ years, more than 73,000 individuals across Pennsylvania received critical career development support through PA Women Work’s programs.

The results of PWW’s programs can often best be understood through the testimonials of its graduates: “Each and every meeting was so encouraging. I felt so supported. I felt I can do this. Now I have a job that is amazing, and I love my job,” Lorah, a recent PWW participant said.

Get Involved

PWW relies on the support of caring donors and volunteers to fulfill its mission to support job-seekers to achieve success and grow their careers. PWW’s 3 Cups of Coffee mentoring program is powered by volunteers who lend their experiences and skills to mentor a job-seeking woman. Additionally, volunteers support fundraising efforts, mock interviews, advocacy efforts, and more.

How Support Helps

Donations made to PWW directly serve the more than 1,900 job-seekers that go through the organization’s programs each year.

Every dollar raised helps more women like Lorah; women who are working hard to build a better life and move their careers forward.

PWW has been changing lives for more than 30 years. Some gifts last a year, but a gift to PWW will last a generation.
