YWCA NCW Mentor Program accepting applications

Posted



WENATCHEE - YWCA NCW is slated to begin a new mentorship program effective immediately. The organization is requesting the service of local women who wish to befriend, support, and encourage other women of North Central Washington. This program specifically focuses on mentoring women facing homelessness, poverty, and other barriers to economic success.

Kathy Blauman, housing specialist at YWCA NCW, expresses that she is ecstatic to oversee the mentor program, the first of its kind for YWCA NCW.  “I am looking forward to the positive changes this program will bring for the women in our community” said Blauman. The program focuses specifically on matching clients with a mentor that will help them set personal and professional goals, foster friendship, and serve as a positive influence on their journey to economic self-sufficiency.

YWCA NCW is pleased to be embarking on this new endeavor, in hopes it will encourage more people in North Central Washington to take a hands-on approach in combatting homelessness and poverty, as well as provide support to those working towards permanent housing and economic success. Those interested in applying to become a mentor can contact Kathy Blauman 662-3531 ext. 117
