At Edge Forward, our mission is to empower women and children, providing them with the necessary tools and resources to overcome any obstacle they may face. We offer two distinct programs: AdvantEDGE, a mentoring program designed to support female high school and college students, and The Next Chapter, a program that helps women and children throughout the divorce process. Our team is dedicated to helping women and children from across the continental United States. We believe that every person deserves the chance to pursue their dreams and live a fulfilling life, regardless of their current situation.
The Next Chapter aims to help women and children during and immediately after a divorce by providing financial aid to help participants with new housing, bills, clothing, and food, as well as emotional support to the women as they struggle with the overwhelming task of supporting themselves and their children while learning how to deal with becoming a single-parent household. The Next Chapter will not provide legal advice or pay any legal fees.
