TAKING CHARGE

Taking Charge! began in 1995 as a joint pilot project between the Federal and Provincial governments. Lloyd Axworthy and Bonnie Mitchelson had a vision that single parents could be supported to find employment with the assistance of Taking Charge! Taking Charge's intent was to break down the barriers for single parents who wish to enter the workforce by providing daycare, education, and financial support.

In 2020, Taking Charge! celebrates 25 years of providing quality service to single parents (of any gender) and women in Winnipeg. Our programs have evolved over time and now have a strong focus on preparing single parents and women to complete their mature grade 12 to continue in post-secondary education to support their families. An employment stream is available for women who wish to enter or re-enter..
