Turning Lived Experience into Lifelines
A partnership between Bloom for Women, PA 211, and United
Way of Greater Lehigh Valley, the PA 211 Fellowship helps survivors build
meaningful careers while connecting community members with critical resources.
Meaningful Work. Stronger Communities
Bloom participants serve as Resource Navigators, answering
211 calls and connecting people with housing, food, healthcare, transportation,
and other essential resources.
Through professional training and hands-on experience,
participants strengthen their communication, technology, and problem-solving
skills while working toward financial independence. Their lived experience
brings compassion and understanding to people seeking help.
Program Impact
“This program helps me turn my pain into purpose. It brings me so much joy that I am able to help others overcome the struggles I was just dealing with not so long ago.”
— Bloom participant
