Fuel the Workforce. Strengthen Your Community.

West Virginia Women Work is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your donation is tax-deductible. But more importantly, your support is an investment in the people who keep our communities running. When you give, you’re helping train hardworking individuals for careers in the skilled trades—industries essential to keeping our economy strong and meeting the labor needs of our state. Every contribution helps provide hands-on training, safety gear, tools, and real-world experience that lead directly to high-wage, high-demand jobs. This isn’t just charity. It’s how we keep businesses staffed, paychecks flowing, and our communities working.

Support Hard Work. Give Your Way.

Your donation helps West Virginians get the hands-on training they need to build strong careers and support their families.
We now accept credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfers, crypto, stocks, mutual funds, and Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) — so you can give in the way that works best for you.

Where Your Donation Goes

Every dollar you give directly strengthens West Virginia’s skilled workforce and helps keep our communities strong. Your support covers the real, behind-the-scenes costs of preparing hardworking people for hands-on careers through our Step Up Construction Pre-Apprenticeship Program.

Your donation helps provide:

✔️ Materials for hands-on training in carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work
✔️ Essential gear like tool belts, hand tools, and work boots
✔️ Help with start-up costs so graduates can begin their careers, including support for apprenticeship entry fees

We focus on removing the financial barriers that keep motivated individuals from getting the training they need. With your help, students complete our program equipped, prepared, and ready to work — filling in-demand roles that keep West Virginia’s economy moving.

You’re investing in the workforce that powers our state.

The Step Up Stash helps students stay focused on what matters — building the skills they need for steady, good-paying jobs in the skilled trades.

By providing essential food and personal care items, you help remove everyday challenges that can derail training. When students don’t have to worry about basic needs, they can fully commit to learning the skills that keep our state working.

We also connect students with local resources to ensure they have long-term support as they transition into the workforce.
