Established in 2012, Together We Bake (TWB) is a nonprofit organization based in Alexandria, Virginia dedicated to supporting women facing barriers to employment the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive workforce training and personal development program to help underserved women gain self-confidence, transferable workforce skills, and invaluable hands-on experience which will allow them to find sustainable employment and move toward self-sufficiency. Our program is centered around a small baking business through which women actively learn and participate in food production, food safety education, and business administration. We also teach empowerment and life-skills classes to help women develop self-confidence, healthy coping strategies, and a strong support network as they move toward self-sufficiency.
