Executive Director

Washington, DC, United States

Holistic Model: At Jubilee, we support each woman to heal from past trauma, explore possibilities for the future, and connect her with the resources and opportunities to achieve her goals through a three-part strategy.

Step One : We address significant barriers for the women we serve related to basic needs, physical health, trauma and mental health, legal issues, and relationship and community connections.

Step Two : We support women to build resiliency through financial health by gaining living wage employment, job training, financial management education, and finding affordable, independent housing.

Step Three : We help women maintain long-term stability by repairing past relationships with friends and family, building their support network, and cultivating their spiritual health.

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.
