Reaching out to our community
The Women’s Business Connection (WBC) is very active in the community and in 1996 adopted their first community outreach partner, the YWCA of Chester County. Since that time WBC has been involved and supported several organizations. Whether it was through a clothing drive for the Career Wardrobe, fundraising efforts, or physical labor provided to assist the first ever Habitat for Humanity Women Build in Chester County, WBC members have reached out to our partners delivering the support they need.
The 2025-2027 Community Outreach Partner
A Child’s Light (ACL) provides expedited mental health support for children and adolescents, ages 2-to-18, who have experienced severe trauma on the first-step of their healing journey.
The success of their program is that it relies on dedicated therapists who recognize how important early intervention can be with young trauma clients to positively impact and re-direct the trajectory of their lives. By negotiating a fee for a therapist and funding the up-front payment of 3 months/12 sessions, they are able to ensure that each client will have a strong, supported, professional, and high-quality introduction to mental health treatment.
The mental health care resources we provide help to heal, build positive self-esteem, improve scholastics, cease self-harm, and most importantly, stop the need for self-medication with alcohol and/or drugs.
