WomenFirst aims to provide a nurturing environment where women can rebuild their lives and self-worth
Learn more about how WomenFirst helps women to learn to love and value themselves as part of the transition and recovery process.
Invest in your relationship with yourself
Our “I Love Me” Empowerment Program delivers innovative training and skill-building workshops for women in our most vulnerable populations.
The curriculum focuses on identity formation, value clarification, healthy lifestyles, and leadership development.
We also promote healthy behaviors to increase social, emotional, and spiritual growth. Our focus is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where women can share their experiences and learn from others.
Get support and peer mentorship
Our Peer Mentorship and Reintegration Program provides 1:1 mentorship providing women additional support in areas such as: life skills, employment, housing, and stability; working together to create a plan for their futures.
This program is based at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility beginning six months prior to a woman's release date, and is built around an individual action plan and follow-ups. This program launched as part of an April 2018 partnership with African American Program (AAP) through Multnomah County in Portland, Oregon.

The WomenFirst Clean and Sober Long-Term Recovery Continuum Care Program will provide a place for women to stay after completing transitional housing and/or treatment up to 1 year at no cost until they receive permanent housing. Currently, there is a lack of long-term continuum care for women, they often wait months or years for their names to be called on the housing waiting list. This wait can lead to behaviors that create a cycle of destruction.
We need YOUR help to end the cycle!
