OUR MISSION

We are a successful employment program dedicated to reducing the number of children living in poverty by helping

low-income women, primarily single moms, build better futures for themselves and their children through long-term

successful employment!

Our Purpose

Women seeking our services typically want a better quality of life, but lack the training, confidence and positive work experience necessary to obtain and maintain employment. Our unique employment approach helps low-income women develop the tools, knowledge and self-confidence necessary to compete for better jobs, seek raises and promotions, and become financially self-sufficient.

Volunteers

Through volunteering with PHP, I see women getting the knowledge base and the chances that they wouldn’t have had, had they not learned about this program. I love knowing that my involvement with PHP is not just helping women become employed or better employed—but we are also leading by example for the next generation. Kay Winder, PHP Board SecretaryAmerican Express
