Advocacy

Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary "empower others to empower themselves" by walking side-by-side as each person tries to meet their most pressing needs.  The Sisters and Good Shepherd Affiliates connect women of all backgrounds with the services and programs available and empower them to get the help they need with confidence to achieve their goals.

 

 

Oasis on Call, focuses specifically on women making the transition from jail or prison back into society. 

Through our advocacy efforts, we:

  • prepare individuals for employment
  • meet with potential employers to open job opportunities for women with challenges:
    • single mothers
    • women with felony records
    • immigrants to the United States
  • help provide for basic needs
    • housing
    • food
    • clothing
    • educational resources
  • prepare individuals for court appearances
  • negotiate through procedures for Social Services and government programs
  • assist women in immediate financial difficulty by teaching negotiation skills with creditors
