Our mission is to transform lives by

providing a complete system of services

designed to transition women and

children out of poverty to full autonomy,

through career development &

placement, permanent housing,

economic resources, and unlimited

access to services that aid in complete

healing and self-sufficiency.

CWA is built upon uplifting and empowering

women from all walks of life. We strive to re-

mind them of their worth and importance in

the world and equip them with the

knowledge, tools, skills, and inner ability to

evoke positive change in their environments

and their lives.

We offer enrichment through a wide variety

of programs & services. Our programs are

designed to educate, bring awareness, and

provide the necessary skills, tools, and re-

sources to help shape and improve the quali-

ty of life that leads to wellness, recovery, and

self-sufficiency.

We place emphasis on women and children

throughout the Bay Area in domestic vio-

lence & homeless shelters, transitional hous-

ing facilities, human and social service agen-

cies, treatment and recovery centers, and

those who are formerly incarcerated. Our

services are offered direct to these facilities

and agencies and we secure locations

throughout the Bay Area to make our ser-

vices and resources even more accessible.

Courageous Women Association (CWA)

aims to impact lives from the inside out.

We tap into the core/spirit of people to in-

spire them to truly get to know themselves,

see their worth, and understand their im-

portance.

We speak to the heart from the heart

through the sharing of relatable commonal-

ities.

With the understanding that we all have life

stories, the CWA team infuses our own

stories into systems we built to create posi-

tive change, balance, and hope in the lives

of others.

We believe that speaking to a person's

heart, core, and essence, can help to cre-

ate life changes for the better; changes

that promote balance and bring healing to

a person's health, wellbeing, and self-

sufficiency.
