Our purpose

Expanding women's possibilities

The main purpose of Empower Her is to create a community capable of expanding women's possibilities through connection, knowledge, support, development and access to opportunities.

We want every woman who comes to Empower Her to find more than a group or a calendar of events. We want her to find a network capable of contributing, in a concrete way, to the moment she is living and to the next steps she wants to build.

Our purpose is to turn encounters into meaningful connections and connections into real possibilities.

Goal 01

Build a support and belonging network

We want to bring together women who share experiences, challenges, knowledge and goals, creating a community where it's possible to build new personal and professional bonds.

Especially for those who live far from their families, their culture and the networks that once were part of their lives, we want to provide an environment where they can feel welcomed, respected and included.

Because building a new life also means building new relationships.

Goal 02

Expand access to information

Many opportunities are missed simply because the information didn't reach the person who needed it.

We want to bring women closer to information, professionals and resources that can help them better understand the possibilities available in important areas of their lives.

Through talks, workshops, gatherings, content and partnerships, we seek to make knowledge more accessible and applicable to the reality of our community.

Goal 03

Promote personal and professional development

We want to encourage women to develop new skills, recognize the capabilities they already have and acquire knowledge that can expand their personal and professional possibilities.

This can mean learning something new, going back to school, developing English, preparing for the job market, returning to a profession, structuring an idea, developing a business or discovering a completely different path.

There is not just one way to grow.

Our goal is to create opportunities so each woman can discover her own.

Goal 04

Strengthen women's entrepreneurship

We want to support women who want to start businesses and also those who already own their own businesses.

Through networking, education, promotion, partnerships, sharing of experiences and connection with professionals and other entrepreneurs, we seek to create an environment where businesses led by women can gain knowledge, visibility and new opportunities.

We also want to encourage our own community to get to know, refer and support businesses created by women.

When women do business with women, refer women and create opportunities for one another, the whole community grows stronger.

Goal 05

Connect women to opportunities

We want to be a bridge between capability and opportunity.

  • Job opportunities.
  • Learning opportunities.
  • Business opportunities.
  • Partnership opportunities.
  • Networking opportunities.
  • Community participation opportunities.

We can't always directly offer what a woman is looking for, but we can work to build a network that knows where to find, whom to ask and with whom to connect.

Goal 06

Encourage autonomy

Our goal is not to create dependency on Empower Her.

It's exactly the opposite.

We want information, knowledge, connections and opportunities to contribute so each woman has more conditions to make her own decisions and build the path that makes sense for her reality.

Real transformation happens when a woman stops asking only “who can do this for me?” and also begins to discover:

“What can I build from here?”

Goal 07

Create a culture of reciprocity

We want to build a community where receiving help and offering help are part of the same movement.

At a certain moment, a woman may come looking for guidance, information, an opportunity or simply a warm welcome.

Later on, that same woman may have an experience, a contact, knowledge or an opportunity capable of transforming another woman's path.

That's why we want to encourage each member of our community to think not only:

“What can Empower Her offer me?”

but also:

“What can I share with another woman?”

That's how a community becomes a network.

Goal 08

Give visibility to women

We want to create spaces where women can showcase their talents, professions, businesses, stories and knowledge.

Through our events, platforms, content, partnerships and initiatives, we want to expand the visibility of the women in our community and create opportunities for them to be known, recognized and connected to new people.

Because often talent is not what's missing.

What's missing is the opportunity for it to be seen.

Goal 09

Build partnerships that create impact

Empower Her doesn't need to β€” and doesn't intend to β€” do everything alone.

We want to build relationships with professionals, companies, organizations, educational institutions and other partners capable of expanding the resources and opportunities available to the women in our community.

A strong network isn't one that has all the answers.

It's one that knows how to connect people to the right answers.

Goal 10 β€’ The biggest one

Turn women who benefit into women who also contribute

This may be one of our greatest goals.

We want the impact of Empower Her not to stop at the woman who received an opportunity.

We want it to continue through her.

  • That the woman who found a connection can introduce another.
  • That the one who received knowledge can share it.
  • That the entrepreneur who grew can hire another woman.
  • That the one who received guidance can, in the future, guide someone.
  • That whoever found an open door can keep it open for those who come after.

That's how we believe individual changes can create collective impact.

The impact we want to build

How we know we're fulfilling our purpose

We want that, over time, it will be possible to look at the Empower Her community and find women who…

  • got a job through a connection
  • started or grew their businesses
  • went back to school
  • learned new skills
  • found professionals and resources they needed
  • made friendships
  • recovered projects they had left behind
  • found space to share their knowledge
  • received help
  • after receiving, started helping others

Because our goal is not to measure Empower Her's success only by the number of events held or the number of women in a room.

We want to measure our impact by the connections that remained after the events, the opportunities that were born from them and the stories that started to change.

Empower Her exists to bring women closer to people, knowledge, resources and opportunities that can expand their possibilities.

And we want to do this by building a community where each woman can find space to receive, grow, contribute and open pathways for others.

Because when a woman finds an opportunity, one life can change.

When women start creating opportunities for one another, an entire community can change.

Be part of this change.

Join women who walk together, support each other and grow side by side.
