The Englewood Women’s Initiative (EWI) is a program through a coalition of 8 organizations in the Englewood neighborhood in Chicago connecting women in the neighborhood with pathways to incomes over $40k/year through job training, business development, and financial and job readiness skills. CURL is evaluating the pilot and collaborating in creating a database tracking system and benchmarks. A mixed methods approach will be used, including interviews, focus groups, and descriptive statistical analysis.
