We believe that when people thrive at work, communities, companies, the economy, and our democracy, thrive. To reach that, we need to dramatically shift cultural norms and expectations within workplaces. And we need to radically transform how we support people at critical, opportunity-altering moments. Our approach fuels positive change in three key ways: 1) Our text line provides immediate, confidential support for under-represented and under-resourced workers, with emotional and economic outcomes that keep them on an opportunity pathway. 2) Our trained peer counselors utilize their training and skill development in thousands of U.S. workplaces, and 3) Aggregate, anonymous data and storytelling from the conversations can inform new approaches, tools, trainings, and policies and change narrative norms for systemic workplace change. Healthy Workplace Peer Counseling: Empower Work provides support via trained peer counselors to help each person to think through the situation, provide larger context, and consider options for how to take action. Our goal is for every person to leave feeling empowered with a next step that works for them. Our peer counseling model draws on best practices in coaching and strengths-based management focused on active listening, reflection, and positive inquiry. We also connect people to vetted information and resources if needed. Over 90 percent of our users say they feel better after talking to a peer counselor, and that an action they took resulted in the impact they intended. Our volunteers go through rigorous 20 hour training, with over 95% saying they learn new skills and approaches they use professionally as well. 185949 226512 226512 Julie Lein Board Chair 1 0 0 0 Jennifer Burdick Secretary 1 0 0 0 Jyot Bawa Treasurer 1 0 0 0 Jennifer Habig PhD Vice Chair 1 0 0 0 Renee Jackson Director 1 0 0 0 Jamie-Alexis Fowler Executive Director 40 98825 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Powell Business Solutions 1225 E Sunset Dr Ste 145-516 Bellingham WA 98226 3603895341 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 12278 385299 185027 582604 0 0 12278 385299 185027 582604 582604 2811 1533 4344 0 0 0 2811 1533 4344 0 0 12278 388110 186560 586948 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 1 Empower Work received generous pro-bono donations (that are not included in Part 1, Line 1 of this 990) of over $500,000 in advertising to reach under-represented workers including elevator advertising from Captivate reaching 25M workers in office buildings across the U.S.; bus ads from Intersection and SFMTA; transit shelter ads from Clear Channel Outdoor; and Google Ad Grants.
