Our Mission

EmpowHer Enterprises Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to empowering youth, women, and families in underserved communities, with a focused emphasis on those impacted by the foster care system.

                 THE PROBLEM WE ARE SOLVING

Youth impacted by foster care, along with women and families in underserved communities, face layered barriers that limit access to opportunity. These barriers include economic instability, disrupted education, limited professional networks, lack of mentorship, and inadequate preparation for independent living and career advancement.

For foster youth aging out of care, the loss of formal supports creates heightened risks of homelessness, unemployment, and long term financial insecurity. For women and families, especially single mothers and caregivers, systemic inequities often result in underemployment, limited career mobility, and reduced access to professional development resources.

These challenges are not due to lack of ability, they are the result of gaps in access, continuity, and support. EmpowHer exists to close those gaps.

We envision a world where every young person is provided the opportunities and resources they uniquely need to embrace the power of their voice, make informed decisions about their future, and break generational cycles of poverty.  EmpowHer Enterprises Inc. aspires to: 

• Empowering Bold Visions and Playfulness: We are committed to giving girls and young women radical permission to set bold visions, take risks, engage in playful exploration, and fully embrace their childhood. 
• Uncompromising Integrity and Excellence: Our actions are guided by a steadfast commitment to integrity and a pursuit of excellence in all we do. This ensures the highest quality in our programs and interactions.
• Challenging the Status Quo: We are dedicated to challenging existing norms and advocating for transformative change, breaking down barriers that impede the progress of women and girls.
• Build the self-esteem and self-worth of young women by changing their outlook on life, broadening their horizons, and providing tools for self-empowerment and efficacy through Mentorship.

These core values are the foundation of our program, guiding us in our unwavering commitment to uplift and empower girls at every stage of their journey.
