Program accomplishments

  • IN 2024, THE NEW OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL FOR WOMEN CONTINUED STRENGTHENING EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS WHILE FOSTERING NEW COLLABORATIONS ACROSS KENTUCKY. NOTABLY, WE DEEPENED OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH LOCAL DEPARTMENTS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES (DCBS), INCLUDING THOSE IN IRVINE, POWELL COUNTY, AND PAINTSVILLE. THESE RELATIONSHIPS HAVE LED TO INCREASED VISIBILITY AND CREDIBILITY IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. AS A RESULT OF THIS GROWING PARTNERSHIP, WE HAVE BEEN INVITED TO ATTEND THE STATEWIDE DCBS CONFERENCE IN SEPTEMBER 2025, WHERE WE WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT NOSW'S MISSION AND IMPACT TO DCBS REPRESENTATIVES FROM ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH.THIS YEAR, WE HAVE SEEN A 50% INCREASE IN RECRUITMENT EFFORTS AND APPLICATIONS TO OUR PROGRAMS, REFLECTING THE EXPANDED REACH AND RECOGNITION OF NOSW ACROSS THE REGION. IN RESPONSE TO THIS GROWING DEMAND, WE ADDED ADDITIONAL 3-DAY PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, HOSTING EIGHT SESSIONS, FIVE OF WHICH WERE DELIVERED IN COMMUNITY-BASED SETTINGS ACROSS KENTUCKY. THESE WERE MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS MOUNTAIN COMPREHENSIVE CARE CENTER IN GRAYSON, CHRISTIAN APPALACHIAN PROJECT (C.A.P.) IN PAINTSVILLE, AND OWENTON COMMUNITY ACTION.AS A RESULT, THE NUMBER OF WOMEN SERVED THROUGH OUR 3-DAY PROGRAMS HAS INCREASED BY 50% IN 2024 COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THESE PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO OFFER IMPACTFUL CONTENT CENTERED ON SELF-ESTEEM, WELLNESS, AND MOTIVATION, HELPING WOMEN TAKE MEANINGFUL STEPS FORWARD IN THEIR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIVES.OUR TWO-WEEK RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM HAS ALSO SHOWN CONTINUED GROWTH. WE PROJECT TO GRADUATE 21 WOMEN IN 2025AN INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 31% OVER LAST YEAR'S TOTAL. THESE NUMBERS DEMONSTRATE CLEAR AND SUSTAINED MOMENTUM, AND WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUED GROWTH AND SUCCESS AS WE MOVE INTO 2026.
