Tree of Peace

 

Many branches

this tree can sprout

no particular direction

each notch starting

a new life

 

Some branches will

be touched

by a dancing kite

others kissed

by clouds in the sky

 

Many faces

will gaze

at the tree's beauty

finding peace

in the flowing river

among the rocks

Welcome to The Empowerment Program, Inc.

       The mission of The Empowerment Program is to provide education, employment assistance, health, housing referrals and support services to women who are in disadvantaged positions due to incarceration, poverty, homelessness, HIV/AIDS infection or involvement in the criminal justice system.  Our goal is to decrease rates of recidivism by providing case management, support services, basic skills education, housing and resource coordination that can offer viable alternatives to habits and choices that may lead to criminal behaviors.

Musicians In Action Take Action for Empowerment Participants!
 
Musicians In Action (MIA) is a newly established organization that hosts local music events and concerts to benefit Denver organizations working to combat homelessness and related issues.  Performers and venues donate time, energy and space, as well as hold drives for items such as clothing, diapers, food, or whatever the benefitting agency needs. 
 
The Empowerment Program is very happy to be one of six local agencies selected by Musicians in Action for 2010!  Please stay tuned for more details and upcoming music events and drives.  Thank you very much to Musicians In Action for their support, we're excited to see the mission and work of the Empowerment Program brought to new audiences, and in such an entertaining way!
