We offer twelve months of training and mentoring in marketable skills and reliable work habits. Our program is free, accommodates individual learning styles, and teaches skills that permit flexible hours working at home, freeing time for women with dependent families. Our sewing curriculum takes students from simple projects such as aprons and pillows, to complex projects that they design and implement themselves. In addition to the curriculum we help women with a plethora of practical challenges such as transportation, food, finding safe housing, and connecting with needed community services. Our goal is for students to grow in skill and quality of life, become self-supporting, and have stable housing; those who graduate are qualified to set up their own business or to work together as business owners
The mission of TenderLove Community Center is to help homeless, near homeless and low-income women achieve stable, self-supporting lives for themselves and their families. We seek to break cycles of poverty and homelessness through programs that teach skills to enter or re-enter the job market after traumatic circumstances such as survival of domestic violence, previous incarceration, or homelessness
