What is selfpower?
Bringing the promise of education to single parents for over 30 years.
Selfpower is the power and confidence that comes from deep within the human spirit – once it’s realized, no one can ever take it away. Our role at Project Self-Sufficiency is to simply help single parents see it, believe it, and achieve it.
Our goal as an organization is to cultivate the grit and determination necessary for a lifetime of achievements for single parents and their children. By providing access to education and career development, we strengthen the selfpower necessary for single parents to push through barriers in order for them to live a completely different kind of life.
Barriers such as affordable housing, mental health services, access to quality childcare, reliable transportation, and other challenging circumstances require creative intervention and intensive, personalized advising. When families are able to support themselves and activate their selfpower, our community is stronger.
