Helping women from vulnerable situations get back into the workforce

Imagine you are a woman just getting out of prison and trying to get a job. Or you’re living in a shelter and trying to get a job. There are so many barriers for women coming from vulnerable situations to employment. For women struggling with poverty, emerging from human trafficking or domestic abuse, finding a job can seem hopeless. This is where Designed for Joy steps in. The Raleigh nonprofit has trained and employed more than 120 women in the past 6 years and paid out more than $400,000 in living wages. And it’s not just about jobs, DFJ takes a holistic approach to helping women reach their true potential. In this episode, DFJ co-founder Cary Heise shares their mission and their milestones.
