For almost 70 years, SI Davis has worked to empower women and girls in our local community. We believe that when you lift up women, you lift up the entire community. When you give women the tools they need to fulfill their dreams, their entire family (and often friends and neighbors) benefit as well. Through our Live Your Dream program, SI Davis provides grants to women who are head of household to help them continue or further their education. Often, these grants provide some relief by helping with childcare, rent, food, or educational costs. With her children fed and clothed, a mother has an easier time devoting time and energy to her educational goals, and therefore has a much greater chance of succeeding. We also provide guidance, interview/resume skills, and support to young women at King High, the continuation high school in Davis through our Dream it, Be it program, provide scholarships to high school seniors, make and donate hundreds of hygiene kits to the local women's shelter, and support anti-trafficking efforts in the Sacramento area. With these "hand ups", we have made a positive impact in the lives of hundreds of women and girls over the years. Help us continue to provide these programs to Davis women with your donation today!
