The Women’s Career Mixer is an event to promote employment readiness among District women who have experienced domestic violence, those with gaps in their employment history, and those who are returning home after a period of incarceration. This is a opportunity to connect with local reentry-friendly employers, but we also aim to encourage and inspire hope in your employment search. Free childcare will also be provided.
Join the DC Center, DC Anti-Violence Project, and Center Arts for a night filled with poetry, comedy, performance and testimony from those impacted by incarceration. Come support the community and the amazing performers! This event is free to attend, please RSVP and invite friends on the facebook event page!
