Additional details
We are seeking a volunteer to translate materials used in our job training and personal development program. We are holding a session in the summer of 2024 for Spanish-speaking women. The materials cover a range of job readiness topics, including resume writing, interviewing best practices, etc.
What we have in place
- We currently have a google drive folder with all of materials, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have two spanish-speaking staff to review translated materials, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,098 , allowing us to serve at least twelve Spanish-speaking women in need in our area through our programming. These women will move toward self sufficiency, find employment, and gain confidence and empowerment.
Spanish-speaking women in the Washington, DC, area face many barriers to employment. Many Spanish-speaking women face challenges in accessing job training programs, job opportunities, and career advancement due to limited English proficiency. TWB piloted a Spanish-speaking session to help meet this need. Providing all of the training and group facilitation in Spanish allows for full participation and impact of the program.
Project plan
Our mission
Together We Bake's mission is to provide a comprehensive workforce training and personal development program to help women in need gain self-confidence, transferable workforce skills, and invaluable hands-on experience which will allow them to find sustainable employment and move toward self-sufficiency.
What we do
Together We Bake is a low barrier entry, gender focused workforce training and personal development program. TWB's innovative job training program revolves around a small baking business in which Team Members develop the skills and confidence to gain and sustain employment. Team members master skills in commercial food production, food safety and business administration. The program also covers soft skill development through personal empowerment and life skills groups.
TWB serves low-income women facing barriers to employment including homelessness, involvement with the criminal justice system, recent immigration to the country, domestic violence and/or mental health and/or substance abuse issues. TWB serves low-income women in need in the Washington, DC metro area.
TWB also provides post program support to TWB alumni through outreach efforts. TWB also holds bi-monthly alumni gatherings to maintain personal connections and provide continued support from the TWB family.
