Washington Women In Need

Vision: Our vision is that every woman has a clear path in which to achieve her full potential.

Mission: Guided by the belief that every woman is worthy, WWIN empowers women in Washington State to achieve economic stability through higher education and living wage careers.

Values:

• Empowerment with accountability — Taking initiative as well as accepting responsibility for the consequences of our actions.

• Respect with kindness — Seeing the potential in each person and behaving in an encouraging manner toward everyone who touches the organization.

• Accessibility — WWIN is accessible to all without regard to race, religion, age, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability.

• Stewardship — WWIN commits to responsible planning and efficient management of resources so that we can sustain our ability to drive long-term impact in our community.

WWIN believes in the power of determined women to transform their lives and the course of their families’ lives for generations to come. We address a deep need in society, providing women a hand up to improve their futures, in turn, strengthening their families and our societies as a whole.

This program removes a financial barrier to women seeking the higher education they need to attain a living wage career. Star Scholars receive up to $5,000 per year, or $20,000 over their undergraduate college career that they may use for tuition and required books at accredited Washington colleges and universities.
