What is included in the Program?

In partnership with Utah Valley University, InPowerED offers a seven-week course for single mothers in financial crisis. Each group of 10 receives personal attention, hands-on training in Microsoft Office, CRM systems, AI tools, and coaching in interviewing and communication.

The program builds confidence, resources, and connections for sustainable employment. Opportunities for financial scholarships are supported by Live Your Dream Foundation, providing potential education pathways for single moms at UVU.

If that’s you, you’re not alone. InPowerED walks beside you, helping you grow your skills and connect with real career opportunities.

Together, we turn training into jobs, benefits, and stability for single moms and their kids—one cohort at a time

We partner with businesses needing reliable grey-collar services—administrative support, office administration, and entry-level management. Candidates are vetted, trained, and placed in internships midway through the program, giving employers a trial period before permanent hire. This means faster onboarding, smoother transitions, and stronger retention.

Not every sponsor gives financially. Allies include mentors, child-care providers, event planners, service providers, retailers, influencers, and networking leaders. Their support—time, skills, or resources—creates the wraparound community that helps participants thrive during and beyond the program.

Sponsors can fund a Cohort Kit, covering scholarships, devices, and employment opportunities after graduation. Each kit removes barriers and creates direct impact—a real investment in resilience and brighter futures.
