Our Goal
The Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation recognize that older women attempting to re-enter the workforce must overcome major societal barriers, including gender discrimination and ageism. Women may find themselves needing to re-enter the workforce after a variety of events including: losing a job, suffering from an illness, taking time off to raise children or care for family members, or losing a spouse. Furthermore, The Foundation believes that supporting women’s re-entry into the workforce is an important step towards achieving social and economic equality for all members of society. The Foundation supports organizations that move beyond computer training and offer a robust re-entry program, providing model, promising, or start-up programs serving re-entry women, especially those serving women of color. Programs may provide training, resources, or tools that can improve the quality of re-entry programs.
