This program assists those affected by domestic violence who feel ready for a fresh start! It provides practical short-term services like temporary housing, mail and email forwarding and subsidized cell phone service.  For the long term fresh starts, it offers G.E.D., vocational and skills training. It also 'gifts' participants with a free computer and training on how to use it!

Year to date for 2007, we have assisted 27 folk who were ready for a fresh start.

 

Snapshot of success!

DueOver Celebrates the completion of another computer training session; provided in partnership with the Women’s Transitional Care Services and Independence Inc.

The Winter Session of the DueOver computer class came to a close on January 31 with great celebration. Certificates were presented along with flowers from Bitter Sweet Florist, in Lawrence. Four participants received free computers and more importantly all involved learned and experienced personal success. One participant said that the greatest success was having completed something on her own! With every opportunity comes growth and the chance to see the immense potential resting within each person.

Pizza for the kids to celebrate the occasion and chocolates for the graduates were provided by the Winter Center board of directors.

Participants had developed their business plans and were ready for the next step in re-claiming their freedom and their future.
