Vision

We aim to improve quality of life for women, children, and families through direct service and tangible support while digging deep into the systemic issues that make those services necessary. Our vision is a world that demands and supports social and economic justice for all.

Goals

1. 1.The Linda & Rudy Slucker NCJW/Essex Center for Women (CFW) provides holistic career and support services to women who must enter or re-enter the workforce to provide for themselves and their families. Our focus is to ensure every client has the resources necessary and is empowered to reach her employment goals.
2. 2.The Back 2 School Store (B2SS) calls on hundreds of volunteers annually for our mid-summer event, the biggest of the year. Our goal is to create a free-of-charge "shopping" experience for more than 1,000 children from across Essex County, NJ, empowering them to choose clothes, books and other items as they get ready to learn! While children shop, caregivers can access community resources.
3. 3.For more than 100 years the women of NCJW/Essex have worked tirelessly in the pursuit of social justice for our community. We strive to influence public policy and improve social conditions for women, children and families through lobbying, grassroots activism, coalition-building, and educational training.
