When women are empowered, they empower each other.

Every woman deserves the tools to shape her future. At the Institute for Women's Empowerment (IFWE), we provide the knowledge, confidence, and support women need to make informed choices and lead fulfilling lives. Founded in 2004 by Dr. Claudia Curry, IFWE was born from doctoral research and a growing demand for programs that foster personal growth, social connection, academic advancement, and leadership development among women from diverse backgrounds.

Our mission is to address the unique development needs of women across economic, educational, social and professional spectrums - ensuring they have the resources to thrive.
