WPA is the nation’s oldest
service and advocacy organization committed to helping
women with criminal justice histories. Through
our program services, we serve 2,500 clients, and their
families, a year.
We take a dual approach to the issues facing
criminal-justice involved women, combining a commitment
to changing the circumstances of women’s lives
one-by-one with a commitment to changing the systems
that create opportunities and barriers for our clients.
We are a New York State-incorporated nonprofit agency
funded by both public and private sources.
