Their Story

“We pair rigorous academics with supportive services including childcare, transportation, meals, healthcare, counseling, and housing resources. With all this in place, women earn college degrees and change the trajectory for their families.

According to a 2018 report by The Institute for Women’s Policy Research, a single mother with an associate’s degree will earn about $329,000 more working full time in her lifetime than she would with only a high school diploma, and about $610,000 more with a bachelor’s degree. Single mothers with even some college experience are less likely to live in poverty, and they are significantly less likely to live in poverty with a college degree. A mother’s college attendance also has a significant positive impact on her child’s behavioral and academic outcomes, future college matriculation, and health.”
