The Wire Program is launching a new cohort here on the 𝙲𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚕𝚊 𝙲𝚘𝚊𝚜𝚝 from February.
It’s a 𝚑𝚢𝚋𝚛𝚒𝚍 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚖, meaning you can join from home, but there will also be opportunities to meet in person for those who feel comfortable or need 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗.

We hope that local women will 𝚓𝚘𝚒𝚗 not because it’s 𝚏𝚛𝚎𝚎 or because it’s only once a week commitment; but because they see the 𝚘𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚢 to create a safe, steady space to think, to speak, and to be supported without judgement, pressure, or noise.

𝚆𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗 𝚒𝚗 𝚁𝚎𝚐𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚊𝚕, 𝚁𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚕 & 𝚁𝚎𝚖𝚘𝚝𝚎 areas have already found through the WiRE Program: a place where 𝚠𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚗 𝚐𝚎𝚗𝚞𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚕𝚢 𝚜𝚞𝚙𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛, at different stages of life and work, learning new tools, innovations or refining your skills.

If you’ve been holding ideas, questions, or a quiet sense that something needs care or direction, this could be a good place to give that time.

The commitment is once a week, online, on a Friday morning, for 10 weeks.
It starts in February, with applications closing 𝟷𝟼 𝙹𝚊𝚗𝚞𝚊𝚛𝚢.
