Power Up
Build skills and set goals

Power Up is a 10-week leadership program designed to help participants take their next steps in life. During the program women work both collectively and independently to build skills and prepare for further education or training, employment, or volunteer opportunities. Participants spend considerable time understanding the value of setting and implementing goals.

Community
Connections

Power Up creates many opportunities for women, transgender, and gender diverse people to identify and connect with resources in their community. This includes conducting research, as well as engaging with guest speakers from community organizations, local non-profits, and government agencies. These connections provide participants with information about topics such as leadership, financial literacy, personal development, creativity, and self-advocacy.

New Classroom!

Power Up has expanded to our newest location at Prince Edward Square Mall, creating a welcoming space where participants can build confidence, develop essential workplace and life skills, and prepare for meaningful employment. Designed to meet learners where they are, this new location offers greater accessibility and opportunities for growth, connection, and success.
