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 by Trenna R.

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.
