Organization: In Her Presence
Mission: Organized and Led by immigrant women living in Maine, we strive to bring together immigrant women from across communities and generations to ensure that Maine’s economic agenda includes the aspirations and needs of immigrant women. We create spaces that support women’s empowerment and personal ambitions without losing our unique identity and connect immigrant women and girls for collective empowerment in their communities to address common challenges and issues.
Recent Highlights: In Her Presence has introduced 4 new courses this year (Pronunciation, Storytelling of Lived Experiences, Intensive English, and Career Success); started a new partnership with Children's Museum and Theater of Maine; facilitated their Tutor by Immigrants program; and succeeded in hiring a Bridge to Career Fulfillment Director to support students' job skill education and extend outreach to businesses.
