Joanie has attended classes at the Esther House Women's Empowerment Center since May. Joanie says"the Empowerment Center has given me the confidence I needed to get my GED because the ladies here believed in me and now I feel that I can accomplish anything." Joanie will be attending Somerset Community College this fall where she will pursue a career in criminal justice as she one day hopes to be a probation officer.
The desire of Esther House is to empower women in Cumberland and the surrounding counties to obtain skills for a well balanced life which in return leads to well adapted citizens in our communities.
Esther House strives to meet the needs of the ladies we serve through practical, hands on training. At the center we offer Job readiness and Life skills classes which include Self- Enrichment, Parenting, Finance, Cooking/Nutrition, Computer Classes, facilitate GED Studies, as well as Support Groups.
If you are interested in the classes or support groups offered at Esther House Women's Empowerment Center call 864-2200 Monday - Thursday 8:00-5:00
