San Diego, CA–At 70.4 percent, there are more moms of children under 5 in the workforce than ever before, and The Well Community For Women is supporting them.
A 501(c)(3) organization based in San Diego, The Well opened its second co-working, childcare, and resource center at 3810 Bancroft Street in San Diego’s North Park neighborhood. The Well and the San Diego Regional East County Chamber of Commerce marked the occasion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The North Park location is open from 9 am to 5 pm, and its East County location is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 5500 Grossmont Center Dr., Ste. 195 in La Mesa. Coworking memberships in La Mesa range from $50/day to $600/month plus the option to add childcare and enrichment activities, while North Park ranges from $60 a day to $250 a month plus the option to add childcare and enrichment activities.
“A woman gets to walk into The Well with a fresh start, feeling safe, seen, and heard, because we’re all moms,” said Kara Lee, founder and CEO of The Well. “We all know how hard of a job motherhood is, and we all just want to see each other thrive, not just survive!”
The Well established its first location in La Mesa’s Grossmont Center three years ago to not only combat loneliness but to also provide resources and quality childcare, so kids can thrive alongside their mothers. The organization is easing the high cost of childcare, which has increased by 32 percent since 2019 according to a report by the Bank of America Institute. This rising cost disproportionately affects women and their ability to participate in the workplace.
To continue to do good work, The Well seeks support from donors and sponsors. As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, its profits go back into the organization in the form of sponsoring coworking memberships, hosting events for sister nonprofits, and creating free or affordable community-building events. The Well partners with eight other non-profits, to provide tangible resources, employment opportunities, and mentorship to women in transition out of crises such as abuse, trafficking, and homelessness.
