  • Program 1 [2020]

    SALT AND LIGHT COALITION HAD TO TRANSITION AND CHANGE JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD. DUE TO A SUCCESSFUL GALA IN 2019, WE WERE ABLE TO DOUBLE OUR PROGRAM SIZE AND OPEN OUR COHORTS FROM 10 TO 20. SHORTLY AFTER, BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, WE TRANSITIONED OUR PROGRAM TO BE COMPLETELY VIRTUAL. COMMUNITY IS VERY BIG IN OUR ORGANIZATION, SO TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER, WE ADDED MORE CONNECTION POINTS WITH THE WOMEN THROUGH FOOD DONATIONS, WEEKLY CALLS AND THERAPY. BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER, WE HAD THE HIGHEST RETENTION RATE SINCE INCEPTION AND WERE ABLE TO KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN WHILE OTHERPROGRAMS CLOSED.THE TWO PHASES WE OFFER ARE HEALING AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. EACH LAST SIX MONTHS AND BOTH ARE PART OF THE OVERALL PROGRAM. THRIVERS PARTICIPATE IN A ONE-YEAR, 300-HOUR PROGRAM DURING WHICH EACH WOMAN PROGRESSES FROM THE HEALING PHASE TO JOB TRAINING AS THEY HEAL FROM PAST TRAUMA AND DEVELOP SKILLS THAT THEY WILL CARRY INTO THE WORKPLACE.

  • Women Empowerment and Support Coalition

    SALT AND IGHT COALITION IS A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT MOBILIZING INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO EMPOWER SURVIVORS TO LIVE MEANINGFUL AND PURPOSEFUL LIVES. THE SALT AND LIGHT COALITION PRIORITIZES DEPTH, NOT REACH. WE FOCUS ON COMPLETELY TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF WOMEN WHO THEN CHANGE THE LIVES OF THEIR FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES,AND SURROUNDING WORLD. WHEN YOU INVEST IN WOMEN, YOUR DIVIDEND IS HIGHER, A PHENOMENON THAT THE WORLD BANK CALLS THE GIRL EFFECT. FOCUSING ON THE DEEPLY TRANSFORMATIVE POSER OF WOMEN EXPONENTIALLY GROWS OUR IMPACT. ON AVERAGE, THRIVERS SEE A 20% DECREASE IN THEIR DEPRESSION SCORES DURING THEIR YEAR WITH SALC, A 23% DECREASE IN THEIR ANXIETY SCORES, AND 19% INCREASE IN THEIR SELF-ESTEEM. 47% OF THRIVERS COME INTO SALC WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DEGREE. UPON GRADUATION 79% HAVE THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR GED. ALTHOUGH ONLY 11% OV THRIVERS HAVE WORK HISTORY COMING IN, 75% ARE WORKING AT GRADUATION. ONLY 16% OF THRIVERS COME TO SALC WITH STABLE HOUSING, BUT AT GRADUATION, 75% HAVE STABLE HOUSING.
