How we RISE

Let's close the representation & pay gap in the workplace

Women have the power, courage, and talent to lift their families up by their bootstraps... but the shoes have to fit. MomProject.org is the community, support, and platform that sees her, and elevates her without compromising her authenticity.

 

Greater income. Greater advancement opportunity.

Advancing in a career is challenging for all moms, but inequality for moms of color makes getting ahead even harder. RISE, powered by MomProject.org, empowers women to accelerate their careers and earning potential in a way that's attainable and realistic, setting moms up for success.

Gender equality is unfinished business. I joined RISE because I believe every woman deserves continued professional education and support, everyone woman deserves career advancement, and every woman deserves not only an equal but an equitable opportunity to empower their voice and growth. RISE provided an equitable starting line and a trajectory for all women who want to pursue their careers and dreams.”
