The Goal

Our aim is to equip these women with the tools necessary to land the job of their dreams in the technical age or do daily tasks that require the use of technology and aid their kids when filling out those college applications.

We value the culture and the traditions that are practiced amongst women of different regions within the refugee community. We want to translate those skills and ideas into the modern world and workforce. Our aim is to also help them advance their skills in technology, art, and design.

The Skills

We will teach computer literacy skills from Microsoft Office to Adobe Suites, fashion or web design fundamentals and finally, artistic  appreciation and incorporation into technology and design.  Materials will be provided for learning, including use of computers.

The Showcase
