WPA Workforce Lab: Shifting Narratives, Strengthening Communities, Shaping the Field
Elevating care work as skilled labor, lived experience as leadership transforming how we talk about, train for, and invest in women's work.
WPA will lead a bold, multi-year initiative to transform how society values the women who care for, support, and work alongside justice-impacted women. This narrative shift will elevate their roles from invisible labor to essential infrastructure. Anchored in WPA's legacy and cross-sector credibility, this project integrates community-led storytelling, workforce innovation, and systems change to drive national understanding - and policy - toward replacing incarceration with care-driven, women-centered solutions.
