Powering Change Investment

Championing Economic Equity through Workforce Development 

As part of our work to accelerate the transition to a carbon-free future, we strive to act as a catalyst for change in our communities.  This includes workforce development initiatives that provide access to STEM learning opportunities, and create economic access, generational wealth, and family supporting careers.

Below are the five flagship community organizations Constellation has partnered with in the Powering Change Investment initiative.

Chicago Women in Trades | InRoadsNational Urban League | SkillsUSA | Vehicles for Change



Chicago Women in Trades

Founded in 1981, Chicago Women in Trades (CWIT) is a non-profit organization committed to improving women’s economic equity by increasing the number of women working in well-paid, skilled trades jobs traditionally held by men.  Originally established by tradeswomen as a support network, CWIT addresses the barriers that prohibit women and girls from entering and succeeding in male-dominated industries by creating opportunities and promoting equitable workplaces and conditions.  

“Because Constellation is a major employer in the industry, its leadership in expanding equity for women matters, and we are excited about what can be accomplished together.”

 - Jayne Vellinga, executive director, CWIT

 





     

   

InRoads

Founded in 1970, INROADS delivers innovative programs and creative solutions that identify, accelerate, and elevate the development of underrepresented talent throughout their careers. Through this development, students become equipped for corporate and community leadership that affects community renewal, social change and elevates economic status and quality of life. INROADS has more than 30,000 alumni, over 900 interns and serves 4,000+ students and 200 corporate clients. Learn more at INROADS.org and connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn: @INROADSInc.

The National Urban League is a historic civil rights organization dedicated to economic empowerment in order to elevate the standard of living in historically underserved urban communities.

Vehicles for Change

Since 1999, Vehicles for Change has provided the tools necessary to achieve financial stability for families through their car donation and reentry internship programs. Whether a family needs a car or an individual needs a new job, the nonprofit promotes respect and independence. 

Vehicles for Change has awarded 6,900 cars to low-income families, changing the lives of more than 24,000 people. Their study found that 75 percent of Vehicles for Change recipients got better jobs and/or boosted their earnings by an average of $7,000 within the first year.
