Mujer Avanzando: Pathways to Independence
A comprehensive program of integrated services in career pathways, wealth creation, Latina leadership, and childcare designed for single Chicago working mothers earning between $10K and $40K annually. The program is a partnership between Instituto, The Resurrection Project and Mujeres Latinas en Acción, all of whom will leverage their relative expertise in the core areas to revolutionize a community partnership model that produces demonstrable results where working women increase their earnings, multiply their household assets and eventually become homeowners.   

Mujer Avanzando is structured around 4 core program components:

• The Career Pathways core involves one-on-one career path coaching and individualized career training to help women achieve their career goals.
  
  
• The Wealth Creation and Asset Development core involves one-on-one work with a financial coach to create a family budget, enroll in financial literacy workshops, and pursue opportunities to build her families assets through investing.
  
  
• The Leadership Development core involves a culturally contextualized curriculum developed by Mujeres Latinas en Acción with a focus on self-discovery and knowledge/skill building.
  
  
• The Child Care Services core involves on-site and/or geographically appropriate child care for women enrolled in the program.
