Mission
The WHW Organization (formerly known as Women Helping Women & now a part of Working Wardrobes) was a non-profit organization and an effective vocational program that focuses on offering assistance to underemployed and unemployed individuals so they gain life skills with the end goal of finding a job. The intention of promoting life skills, in the case of WHW, was to help people become ideal candidates for potential job opportunities. WHW was a safe space for job-seekers who are looking to get educated in the services and training the organization provides such as: “Overcoming Obstacles,” “Confidence Building,” Resume Development,” and “Mastering the Interview.” The organization’s objective was to bring people back on their feet after they have lost their jobs. As a result, job-seekers will gain a new point of view and everlasting skills that will become an integral part of their lives. In 2008, they started serving men and now 40% of the people they helped were men. When you look at the workshops, computer training, job placement assistance, and the employment retention support, 40% of that was men.
