About Us
Mission: 

Jubilee Women’s Center supports women experiencing poverty to build stable and fulfilling futures, one extraordinary woman at a time.

Led by the guiding principle that women of all races and cultures are to be treated with respect and dignity, Jubilee provides programs and services that empower women to make positive life changes.

Programs: 

Jubilee’s program takes a holistic approach to working with women and their goals. Jubilee starts by assessing where participants are in 12 key development areas. Together, they identify what participants need to overcome barriers, build resiliency, and maintain long-term stability - and Jubilee will walk with them along the way. Jubilee offers community services to low-income women including referrals, a free boutique, office and computer lab access, and courses to develop skills in technology, communications, money management, and employment preparation.

Jubilee’s residential program gives program participants the stability and time they need to heal, grow, and rebuild their lives over the course of up to two years. At Jubilee’s four residences, participants will find safe and affordable housing, learning opportunities, employment preparation, and guidance from care managers as the program participant works toward a living wage career and independent housing.

Why Work For Us?: 

Values:

  • Empowerment – We believe in an inclusive environment where all people and ideas have value and are worthy of respect.
  • Innovation – We believe that personal development stems from trying new things and value both success and failure as a key part of learning and growth.
  • Transparency – We believe that open and honest communication builds trust and that mutual and constructive feedback is a critical part of developing oneself, community, and team.
  • Integrity – We believe consistency, intentionality, and personal responsibility contribute to our personal and collective success.
  • Collaboration – We believe there is more than one way to achieve a goal, and that collaboration with people of diverse strengths, experiences, and perspectives contributes to our success.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement:

Jubilee Women’s Center assists all individuals without discrimination, and treats them with respect, integrity, and dignity. In the broadest sense, Jubilee Women’s Center intends to relieve pain and suffering, lessen oppression, meet basic human needs, and promote justice, equality, and diversity. At the heart of every one of our social service programs lies one of these major principles. They guide our individual efforts and inform the thousands of small-scale decisions and interactions Jubilee Women’s Center is a part of every day.
