Join us and be a part of the change!

1 in every 5 women feels stuck, unable to find a job or move forward with their lives. At Making Changes Association, we’re here to help break those barriers.

Our 5 free programs are designed to empower women and teen girls of all ages, backgrounds, and life stages. We provide resources, professional clothing, skills training, and a supportive community to help you pursue careers, education, and meaningful contributions to society. We break down barriers so women can build confidence, gain independence, and create a better future for themselves and their families.

By getting involved, you become part of that transformation. Whether you donate, volunteer, or spread the word, you help create lasting change. When you support one woman, you uplift an entire community.

OUR IMPACT

We believe women's economic independence goes beyond income. Our services and programs empower clients to recognize their potential, build confidence, and achieve sustainable livelihoods and well-being.
