Welcome to ... WE CAN ...WE CAN SIGN.jpg

"Helping Cape Cod women in transition help themselves."

Imagine trying to turn around your life if you are a single mom struggling to make ends meet and have never learned how to use a computer ... or if you are a newly divorced woman who has not been in the market for a job in quite a while ... or if you have just recovered from a long illness and need to change careers as a result. 

These are the stories of WE CAN women who recreate themselves though our signature programs. 

Just received:     "I just wanted to thank you.  My journey I’ve been on has not been a very easy one for me, not really knowing too many people and being kind of isolated.  Awhile back, I could feel myself starting to slip away again.  You were persistent... and it made me start to smile again.  Imagine that…someone who really didn’t have to care, did.  You reeled me back in to stepping my foot outside the door again and start peeking at the things beyond my front door.   With gratitude...    M"    

WE CAN Event 2006 062.jpg       OUR MISSION: WE CAN Corporation, recognizing that every community member's well-being contributes to that of the whole community, supports Cape Cod women in life transitions with services that bring increased opportunity, self-sufficiency, and stability.  WE CAN furthers women's development through:

    • Goal setting and guidance through mentoring;

    • Assisting with transitions such as divorce, career change, job loss, illness, retirement, isolation and personal loss; and,

    • Providing resources for information and referrals.

OUR VISION:
Any woman who seeks to improve the condition of her life knows that WE CAN is the leading resource to facilitate transformation.
WE CAN creates hope, identifies possibilities, and supports aspirations.
Through an integrated, engaged community, mentoring is the natural way of life.


If you are a woman experiencing a difficult life transition, WE CAN may be able to help you. Call or come in.

WE CAN's PROGRAMS:
Options: The Options program helps women in difficult life or career transitions. We can help you find a fulfilling career, learn about steps in a divorce, or find the right referral. For careers, we assess skills, interests, and values, and provide information about potential jobs. We also provide information about salaries and required training, and assist with educational programs, resumes, job applications, and financial aid forms. For divorce, we can assist you with a "Divorce Boot Camp" CD.  We maintain a comprehensive referral network to help women identify crisis funding resources for housing, childcare, legal advice, and transportation.
Offered through a grant from Cape & Islands United Way funds.

Pathmakers: WE CAN's mentoring program offers support for women with similar concerns. Each person is assigned a mentor, and everyone gathers monthly for discussions and presentations.
Offered through a grant from Cape & Islands United Way

Legal Clinics: WE CAN offers free legal clinics every month. You may call to sign up for a 30-minute session with an attorney. You can ask questions about divorce and child support, wills and estate planning, landlord-tenant problems, a consumer problem, mediating a domestic relations dispute, immigration, or any other legal concern. 
Sponsored by the Massachusetts Bar Foundation with the help of 18 generous attorneys.

Workshops: WE CAN sponsors workshops on careers, financial management, the divorce process, computers, and women's health.  We also are interested in hearing from you if you wish to volunteer to facilitate a workshop.
