Providing access to education and career development, we strengthen the selfpower necessary for single parents to live a completely different kind of life.
Bringing the promise of education
to single parents for over 35 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.
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.

BRING THE POWER
In the face of hard emotional, physical and financial circumstances, it takes remarkable effort to apply for and get through educational programs and develop career stability for single parents and their children. This kind of success doesn’t happen alone, or overnight, and there are significant challenges to overcome.
We need your help.
Bring the promise of education to single parents.
“They move people to self-sufficient places in a way where they can become leaders, they actualize people.”

Our Model
We partner with single parents on their journey to achieve a rewarding education and develop a career that matters.

The first steps in the program involve stabilization, strengths-finding, and career counseling to build a personal plan for gaining more education and training. Our model has built-in resources, so Participants can be successful in their journey towards a better future.
