STRIVE is dedicated to uplifting women in the workplace.

Our Women's Empowerment Luncheon is an annual fundraiser celebrating the power of women. STRIVE graduates share their stories, from enrollment to employment and beyond, and we highlight the success and impact of women leaders and influencers in the workplace. Funds raised support a direct path for motivated women who are ready to pursue the financial security and economic mobility that will transforms their lives and the lives of their families through our career building programs.
