The Joint Endeavor for Women in Education and Leadership (JEWEL) program is designed to promote education as a resource for empowerment and leadership by providing improved access to resources that address barriers disproportionately faced by women. The program focuses on academic success, leadership development and access to resources.

Students in this program will be supported as they pursue an Associate’s degree, Certificate, or Certificate of Development, with the goal of either entering the workforce or pursuing a Bachelor’s degree program.
