About Us
A 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 1987, Vermont
Works for Women has an extensive record of accomplishment in working
with women, young adults, educators and employers and in developing,
implementing, and growing innovative programs.
Vermont Works for Women helps women and girls recognize their potential and explore, pursue and excel in work that leads to their economic independence.
VWW works to address the needs of women in Vermont to earn a livable
wage and to  succeed despite numerous personal, educational and economic
barriers to employment. We also work to educate women and girls about
the wide array of nontraditional career opportunities available to
them, many of which may have never occurred to them to pursue. We
serve women and girls from all over the state, from a wide variety
of races, ethnicities, economic backgrounds, sexual orientations and
physical abilities. The National Association of Mayors, the City of
Burlington, the Vermont Governor’s
Commission on Women, the Vermont
Housing & Conservation Board, the Lake
Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce and the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration
have all honored VWW for the quality of its work. Two of our programs,
Rosie’s
Girls and Step
Up for Women, have been replicated nationally. Our former name
was Northern New England Tradeswomen. We are a Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity. We are located in Winooski, Vermont, at
32A Malletts Bay Avenue in the O'Brien Community Center building.
