How to Support Apprenticeships and Strengthen Our Community on Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is more than just a day of generosity—it’s a chance to create lasting change in our communities. At West Virginia Women Work, we’re proud to train the next generation of skilled workers through our free pre-apprenticeship programs, equipping women with the tools, certifications, and confidence they need to thrive in high-demand careers. Your support on Giving Tuesday can help us continue this vital work and build a brighter future for individuals and communities alike.

Connecting Contributions to Real Impact

Every donation we receive on Giving Tuesday directly impacts the lives of women in our programs. By supporting us, you’re not just helping individual students; you’re investing in an economic ripple effect that benefits entire communities. Here’s how your contributions make a difference:

  • Providing Free Training: Our programs, such as Step Up for Women Construction and Step Up for Women Advanced Manufacturing, prepare participants for apprenticeships and skilled careers—all at no cost to them. Your donations help cover materials, certifications, and resources that make these programs possible.
  • Strengthening Local Economies: Graduates from our programs often secure jobs in their communities, bringing skills and stability to local industries. These women are building the infrastructure and systems we rely on every day, from roads to utilities, while supporting their families with living-wage careers.
  • Creating a Supportive Network: Beyond technical training, our programs foster mentorship and encouragement, ensuring participants have the guidance they need to succeed. Your support helps sustain this community, making a lasting impact on women’s lives.

Building Stronger Careers and Communities

Apprenticeships and skilled trades play a critical role in strengthening the workforce and addressing labor shortages. By donating to our organization, you’re empowering women to step into these roles, filling essential gaps in industries like construction and manufacturing. Each graduate of our program represents a future of possibility—not just for themselves, but for their families and the communities they serve.

Help Us Expand Opportunities

This Giving Tuesday, your support can also help us continue renovations on our new Step Up Hub, a dedicated training facility that will expand opportunities for women entering the trades. The building symbolizes growth and resilience, just like the students who walk through its doors. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to completing this vital space and providing more women with life-changing training.
