DescFor over 30 years, WEN has successfully impacted the lives of thousands of women who have come to WEN to create better lives for themselves and their families. WEN's strategic approach promotes the overall economic wellness of clients, focuses on building pathways to securing livable-wage jobs, and provides credit-building tools, financial education, and one-on-one coaching, leading them toward long-term financial stability. In fiscal year 2016-17, WEN served more than 700 women living in the Greater Kansas City area, all of whom have been chronically unemployed or chronically under-employed. Over three decades of dynamic programming, while influencing countless lives, is quite an accomplishment for any organization. We attribute our success to the numerous thought leaders, CEO's, volunteers, philanthropists, corporate sponsors and talented staff who have contributed to WEN throughout the years. The support of the community is paramount to our success in supporting our clients as they navigate significant obstacles to financial self-sufficiency and personal discovery. Our model of service is a holistic approach to empowerment, ensuring barriers to client success can be overcome. Due to our long history in Kansas City, WEN is able to leverage relationships with many partners to positively impact families by connecting women with the resources they need to get ahead, both inside and outside our traditional programming. Our OneKC for Women alliance with the Women's Business Center, Women's Capital Connection and WE-Lend Initiative provides additional options for financial success for the clients we are so privileged to serve. WEN serves a broad spectrum of women throughout the Kansas City metro area who are unemployed, under-employed, new to the workforce or seeking to re-enter the workplace. Women must be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or equivalent. 88% of WEN clients have incomes below the federal poverty level. Likewise, women who come to WEN face a variety of challenges to securing employment, including homelessness or unstable housing, finding and affording childcare, insufficient or nonexistent medical or mental health care, limited means of transportation, substance abuse, and recovery, and domestic violence. In the 2016-2017 program year, WEN served: 662 total clients, 370 new clients, and 74% of clients reside in Jackson County. Our Clients: 83% of clients are single or divorced, 25% of clients do not have stable housing, 28% of clients have children, 59% of clients report a household income of under $10,000, and 33% of clients are the sole provider of income for a household with dependent children. WEN 2016-2017 Program Outcomes: 185 self-reported jobs, 435 employer partners, 895 workshop attendees, 2,053 hours in job search lab, 139 clients served per month, and $14.38 average hourly full-time wage reported.Desc

DescIn 2016-2017, the Women's Employment Network celebrated our 4th year as a Financial Opportunity Center. WEN continues to focus on enhancing the financial self-sufficiency of women. Our vision for WEN continues to evolve, as women have become 50% of the nation's workforce, enroll in college more than ever before, remain in poverty as single mothers, and become self-employed at 1.5 times the national average. Challenges and barriers remain much the same, but providing all options to gain sustainable wages and education is necessary for WEN to continue leading women to success. At WEN, women learn how to overcome their personal and professional barriers and experience a holistic curriculum that changes their lives, not just their resumes. In 2015, the FINRA Investor Education Foundation awarded the Kansas City Public Library (KCPL) a grant to partner with Women's Employment Network to provide financial literacy workshops and one-on-one financial coaching to community members. Targeted community members included: women of diverse groups, immigrants, and adults ages 55 and over. In the 2016-17 fiscal year, WEN continued to deliver financial workshops through the Kansas City Public Library system. Latoya Woods, WEN Client Services and Financial Coach created the curriculum for four separate financial workshops: Budgeting, Banking Basics, Credit, and Identity Theft. Through this collaboration, WEN reached multiple community partners to educate them on the availability of these workshops. Workshops have been offered at four library branch locations and presented at five community partner organizations. The FINRA grant was completed in January 2017. Through this grant and our partnership with the KCPL, we were able to put together a Money Matters Financial Education booklet that was authored by Latoya Woods, and is available to community partners at no charge. It will serve as a great takeaway for case managers and community partners. WEN staff recently delivered 200 copies of the booklet to Johnson County Multi Service Center for use at all four of their locations. Additionally, this booklet was translated into Somali and Spanish in an effort to provide financial education tools to a larger demographic. Additional non-profit organizations receive access to our financial workshops upon request. Program outcomes: 203 financial clients, 29 coaching clients each month, 42 participants improved credit score, and 47 participants decreased their outstanding collections.Desc
