Workshop Moments
Pillars of Impact:
Health
Women Empowerment Workshops
Why
Imagine hearing story after story of health issues that are causing community members to end up in the ER and miss work. As you continue to listen, you begin to realize that many of those emergency visits occurred because of barriers to preventative care, limited educational opportunities, or simply not being connected to the right resources.
What
Legacy Impact hosts Women Empowerment Workshops in the Georgetown South Community Center. Each workshop focuses on creating a space for women to not only learn about better mental and physical health practices, but also to experience them! From self-defense and nutrition to distressing through art and learning about how to better connect with family in an age of technology, each workshop is driven to invest in women so that they can better invest in their families.

You're Worth It

Tangible Impact
"Over the weekend, I applied what I learned at the workshop! My family asked why we weren't going to fry all our food. I shared what I learned and how, as a family, we were making changes to what we eat."

- Participant Comment
Movement Matters
The latest Assessment of UVA Health shows that diabetes is the highest cause of mortality in Manassas, VA. So what's our response? Nutrition and movement workshops where we don't just talk about healthy lifestyle choices...we do it! From having healthy food options to spending part of our workshop moving, we are committed to creating opportunities of access that have not been there before.
