Scholarship Program We had the What we are doing, "Changing the way our culture values women," and the Why, "To help women develop their ability to sustain their lives via their creative gifts." Now we have the How: we are offering women scholarships. Women will have an opportunity to educate themselves in ways specific to their needs—business coaching programs, self-esteem programs, financial planning services, etc. In addition, we will cultivate and keep current a list of such services and programs. If you're interested in applying for a scholarship, please email info@naction.org and let us know what you need. We'll send you an application form and work with you to design a practical way to live your dream. When you have completed your course of study and are thriving, we ask you to volunteer your time to the NAO, joining our Desire to Inspire program, mentoring other women along the path. Micro-lending Program Many women find themselves at one time or another on the brink between success and failure, for a multitude of reasons—an unforeseen illness, a sudden separation of the family unit, a death, or perhaps poor planning—all of which, if unattended, can lead quickly to basic bottom-line survival. On a per-case basis we help these women build a temporary but essential bridge between their impending catastrophe and a new life, giving them room to breathe and re-evaluate, by offering them small loans. Financial support is offered out of integrity and shared with respect, to women who aim to grow as well as care for themselves, without being shamed for the circumstances they find themselves in. This practical and necessary leg-up also invites women to take responsibility for their circumstances, by asking them to repay the loan in a timely fashion as well as volunteer time to our organization. This keeps us all in balance and flow, so others may benefit from the same support. We are interested in interrupting the pattern of the "Damsel in Distress" victim mindset, replacing that idea with the reality of a capable, playful, joyously abundant life. |
