Etsy Support for Women's Empowerment Program

Refugee women are invited to learn to sew and create products they can sell to support their family. A volunteer is needed who can commit a few hours a week working from their home or our office to assist the women in selling their products via Etsy.

• Take photos of items the women have created
• List items on the etsy store page
• Ship items to customers once they are purchased (training provided)

About the Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest Women's Empowerment Program:

In the Refugee Women’s Empowerment Program, Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest offers classes and programs specifically tailored to the needs of refugee women in our communities, offering a safe space for women from Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Burma, Cuba, and more. The trauma of the refugee experience is often compounded for refugee women because of gender-based violence and cultural expectations. These barriers can make integration into their new American home particularly challenging.
