PALS - Partnering Ambassadors for Life and Service

Partnering Ambassadors for Life and Service (PALS) was founded in 2007 by Women To The World President and Founder, Doris Aldrich www.DorisAldrich.com for the purpose of bringing light and hope to the lives of suffering women and children within the United States.

With the help of local volunteers in Athens, Georgia, a fresh approach to equipping adult women for stable employment is now being realized. In genuine pursuit of a life of dignity, self-worth, and independence, many women have responded to this unique educational opportunity.

PALS has provided an effective educational opportunity unlike any other. The dream is now being realized by many unemployed mothers, or those desiring career training and advancement.

Through Computer Education, GED certification, job placement and skill application training, adult women face the future with fresh hope.

In partnership with the Sparrow's Nest Mission in Athens, Georgia, PALS teachers, mentors, and life-skills counselors are transforming even more lives by offering the PALS creative Christian-based curriculum to those seeking freedom from poverty, dependency, and abuse.

Women to the World is uniquely qualified to lead the charge that eradicates roadblocks to personal development, such as domestic violence, spousal abandonment, previous drug abuse, and joblessness.

Women to the World has been effective in relief, development, and rescue programs around the world since 1985. (See www.WomenToTheWorld.org). The PALS Program is resting upon the same solid foundation of effective helps through developmental programs that train and educate for practical self-sustaining workforce goals, reaching suffering women and children throughout the developing world.

Like to help? Here's how...

There are no fees charged to the students enrolled in the PALS program, eliminating one of the biggest roadblocks facing these young men and women who so desperately need hope and need someone to care.

We rely on your generous loving support to sponsor our students. The cost per student is $150.00, which covers the materials needed for their instruction, and the $100.00 State of Georgia GED testing fee.
