Leadership Training

Women Organizing for Justice & Opportunity

Women Organizing for Justice & Opportunity (WOJO) is a six-month training program for formerly incarcerated women to sharpen their social justice leadership skills.

Nothing is Impossible because

You Are A Leader

Once formerly incarcerated women find stability, we encourage them to become community leaders. Our annual training program called Women Organizing for Justice and Opportunity (WOJO) allows formerly incarcerated women to get involved in the movement for social justice and sharpen their leadership skills. Participants who have been adversely affected by our criminal justice, governmental and economic systems receive the tools they need to make changes to those systems.
