Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Women's Circle aims to provide the tools better to better position women in equitable jobs, provide access to career development resources leading to financial security and economic stability. We aim to improve literacy levels and language through education. We aim to provide computer instruction and other basic life skills to achieve long term success for the women who come to us.

Women's Circle meets women at their point of need and actively plan to most positively impact their lives. We partner with other community agencies and nonprofits to achieve these goals and build a stronger community.

Women's Circle capabilities include the support of over 100 highly skilled and motivated volunteers who spend their time and energy providing top level instruction and mentor-ship. We have a 21 year track record in serving the community and maintain a standalone facility with classroom space and computer lab for maximum gains.

In the past 21 years, Women's Circle has impacted the lives of over 4,000 women, assisted more than 1,000 in obtaining or improving their employment, and has seen 31 women achieve US Citizenship.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
