Hello Lisa,


There is a lot going on at WE CAN these days! For one thing, we held our signature event, A Day of Words, Wit, and Wisdom, for the first time since 2019. And here's another "welcome back" - to our PathMaker Program, which has been on hiatus since Spring 2020 due to COVID. Read on to learn not only about PathMakers, a unique mentoring and empowerment program, but also about The Ride for WE CAN, our 2021 Annual Report and our upcoming workshops by clicking the button below.

PathMakers is Returning this Fall!

Since 2011, WE CAN's PathMakers program has been empowering women to learn to love and believe in themselves and build trusting relationships to pursue and accomplish their goals. The PathMakers Program is a facilitator-led, peer mentoring program that uses a strengths-based approach to self-advocacy. It provides support, connections and a safe place for personal exploration and growth. 


Each individual PathMaker selects a mentoring partner and together they work towards accomplishing a personal goal the PathMaker has selected for herself. Through monthly group meetings in the Mid-Cape, hosted and facilitated by WE CAN, all participants join together to engage in discussions on select topics ranging from self-compassion to understanding your personal gifts to creating a vision for the future.

"The PathMakers Program provided me with a group of women who started out as strangers and became a family who cried with each other, laughed with each other, cared about each other, supported each other, and were there for each other's tragic and triumphant moments."

"The PathMaker Program helped me to see that the thing I needed most was connection - to people in the community and to this beautiful place where we live. I did need structure and hope about my future, and help untangling a lot of things. But I needed to lay a foundation of support and friendship before any of that stuff would work."
