What We Do
Hope & Healing for Women that Need it Most
Portland, Oregon, is home to thousands of women that find themselves more than just a little down on their luck every year. Addiction, homelessness, poor job history, incarceration, lack of education, and other hurdles can make the future appear hopeless and terrifying.
Omega is a beacon of hope among an ever-changing and often cruel world. As a women’s resource, we approach our interns with compassion and understanding. We are a nonprofit that provides the training and mentorship required for women in need to experience on-the-job success.
We help women rebuild their lives through trusted partnerships in the community. By working closely with local partnering businesses, we place women in paid internship positions and offer ongoing support, mentorship, and skill-building. Our mentorship program, combined with support from local partnering businesses, gives women the chance to build job skills and pursue a path of success.

A Life Worth Living is Closer than You Think
Omega is a women’s resource network that accepts women of all races, religions, and backgrounds. If you are struggling to find employment due to addiction, homelessness, or other challenges, Omega offers practical assistance to build lifelong skills such as communication, punctuality, organization, and more.
We believe that through trusted guidance from mentors that have faced and overcome similar challenges, women can succeed.

Omega is a bridge for success that has already changed the lives of many women in Portland and surrounding areas.
Our Mission
Empowering women from a life of dependency to one of sustainability through employment opportunities, resulting in a hope filled future. Our founders know that once a woman knows she is truly loved, there is hope. We know that hope comes through the love and power found in Jesus Christ. Janna and Susie found lives worth living and pay it forward to those in need. Christ-centered philosophies guide our counseling, but we never require religion, faith, or certain doctrines on our interns.
We accept women of all religions, backgrounds, races, and ethnicities. Whether or not you are a Christian is not a factor in our selection process. However, if you are interested in learning more about how the unconditional love of Jesus Christ can help guide your journey, we are more than happy to offer counseling from this perspective.
