The marine imagery that surrounds Project Wheel House aptly captures its mission: a nonprofit dedicated to leading those who are suffering to safer shores. For those women who utilize the services of The Women’s Center, there are few storms more perilous than surviving domestic abuse. This is why Project Wheel House has been bringing yoga and meditation to The Women’s Center for over two years.
The relationship between the Women’s Center and Project Wheel House makes a lot of sense; both nonprofits are dedicated to helping those who are struggling to find a path to empowerment, dignity, and self-worth. Project Wheel House has come to work with a variety of institutions over the years, ranging from LGBTQ youth to prison inmates, but the Women’s Center was the first organization that Project Wheel House partnered with, and it has been a relationship that has grown and flourished ever since.
Earlier this year, The Women’s Center presented a Community Award to Project Wheel House at their Annual Meeting. Accepting the award on behalf of founder Jessica Webb, board secretary Nancy Webb noted that, “Project Wheel House is indebted to the Women’s Center for allowing us to reach out with our mission to provide proven mind and body programs, in an effort to reduce the harmful effects of stress, anxiety, and trauma in our community.”
