The purpose of the Women’s Center is to serve the unique needs of the College’s female students, staff and community members by providing a safe physical location that offers the following: consultation/referral to counseling, support/discussion groups, workshops, gender-specific resources, networking opportunities and county referral, outreach programming, celebrations, and speakers on women’s and gender issues. Emergency financial services and the Smart Choices workshop series are offered to CLC students only.
The Center supports special populations including the following: single mothers; returning female students; displaced homemakers; nontraditional career seekers; victims of rape/sexual abuse and domestic violence; women in cultural transition; and gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer individuals. While the Center focuses on services geared toward the CLC female population, its doors are open both to women and men. Several events throughout the academic year and summer session invite a diverse audience. Both women and men have been integral in the development of the Center.
The Women’s Center frequently will collaborate with other College departments, groups and clubs as well as with social agencies and local businesses in order to make available an extensive set of services and programs. In particular, the Center will work with Counseling staff that have expertise in personal/crisis counseling for women, utilize advocates from local women’s organizations, and refer students to county support services.
