Who We Are

 

CLIMB Wyoming, a non-profit orga­ni­za­tion, trains and places low-income single mothers in careers that suc­cess­fully support their families.

For more than 25 years, CLIMB Wyoming has provided par­tic­i­pants with employer-driven job training and placement, life skills and parenting training, coun­sel­ing and the support necessary to ensure self-sufficiency and economic security for gen­er­a­tions to come.

A Note From CLIMB’s Founder

More than 25 years ago, I saw a need in Wyoming. I witnessed single mothers who were deter­mined to make a better life for their children, but a lack of oppor­tu­ni­ties hindered their ability to see beyond the struggles they con­stantly faced. I knew we could – and HAD to – figure this out.

From the first program in 1986, we learned something new every day. As a team and with the input of the moms, we dis­cov­ered that the com­bi­na­tion of services created the most success: job training, mental health services, parenting and rela­tion­ship skills training, connecting with community resources and employers, cul­mi­nat­ing in strong employ­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties that set us apart from all other training programs. As our outcomes attest, CLIMB Wyoming works and has even been rec­og­nized nation­ally as a best-practice model.

CLIMB Wyoming is built upon the strength of the single mothers who par­tic­i­pated in the program. These women have honored me with their trust and allowed me to walk alongside them in their journey. The expe­ri­ence has changed my life, and these women are changing Wyoming one family at a time.
