Raleigh-Wake County Mini-Grant

The Raleigh Wake chapter of AAUW is actively collaborating with community-based organizations that engage in programs directly serving women, their families, and supporting inclusive opportunities that open pathways and doors to educational activities. These same program goals examine ways to eliminate barriers that exclude access to empowerment activities.

Community-based collaborations support and encourage membership opportunities, facilitating recruitment and organizational growth. AAUW provides experienced and stellar mentorship to women in leadership roles through these programs.

The Generations Empowered And Restored Incorporated (G.E.A.R. Inc.), mission is to encourage positive social interaction, facilitate communication with others, and provide a safe and trusting environment for children, as well as support educational objectives for the children in the care of family guardians with incarcerated parents.

To effectively meet this objective, GEAR, Inc. has implemented the Keys4Life Project. The project offers structured mentorship and academic enrichment programs for children of parents who are incarcerated.

The AAUW Salisbury Branch proposes to partner with Livingstone College, Catawba College, and Rowan-Cabarrus Community College to host a two-day mini-conference titled “Empowering Women: Advocacy and Action for Equity.” This conference aims to unite women from the collegiate and wider community, raise awareness about critical issues impacting women’s equity, and equip attendees with practical tools for advocacy and action.
