Career Opportunities
Our Mission: Empower single mothers in Allegheny County to move their families from poverty to prosperity through personal + professional development, advocacy, and education.
Organization Description: When She Thrives serves families in Allegheny County through single mother-centered programming. Although only one quarter of households in Allegheny County are led by single moms, they account for three quarters of households in poverty, with a disproportionate burden on single moms of color. Of single mother households in poverty in Pittsburgh, 68% are headed by Black single moms, nearly 2.5 times the percentage of total Black single mother households. By addressing these gaps in services, our programming primarily serves Black women aged 25-47.
When She Thrives aims to flip these stats so that single mothers can realize their potential, be free of stigma, and become changemakers. We do this through a variety of programming that allows single mothers to reclaim their narrative, advocate for success on their own terms, and develop the skills to relinquish the poverty mindset and achieve holistic prosperity.
