    WHY

    Research indicates that single moms face different types of barriers to upward mobility in the workplace. Biases and the lack of resources personally and professionally hinder these women more so than other population groups. These barriers also contribute to the lack of resources for single moms who strive to become business owners. PWCN is an initiative to help mitigate or eliminate these challenges.
