The Economic Empowerment/Entrepreneurship Development Program
The Economic Empowerment Program seeks to provide financial stability and economic security to the women belonging to the lower sociao economic backgrounds. CMSS recognizes the close links between domestic violence and economic control as well as self-sufficiency and the ability to make choices that enable safety for women and their families. Realizing the need for services aimed at improving economic opportunities, CMSS is providing skills-enhancement activities in the form of trainings and workshops
1. Community Outreach Program
CMSS is a social change organization. We believe that in order to build a violence-free society, we must engage all members of our community in the responsibility of condemning and eliminating domestic violence. To help support our outreach work, CMSS prepares volunteers to be leaders and resources for their communities. After they are trained, outreach volunteers will assist CMSS in its community engagement work by helping to plan CMSS’s various outreach events as well as by attending, tabling, and presenting at these events. Volunteers also play a role in building community partnerships, and we encourage them to interact with community members and leaders about our cause
