We focus on providing skills development, structure, and a sense of purpose for marginalized women and gender-diverse individuals in the community, or to those returning to community after incarceration, who may face poverty, gender-based violence, poverty, homelessness, and social isolation.

At Anchored Mouse, we’re not just about creating jobs – we’re building a supportive employment culture that values democratic participation, diversity, and gender equality. We transform workplace dynamics, advocating for “Free to Work” hiring practices that allow women and gender-diverse individuals to break free from cycles of poverty and escape the nets of the justice system.

We firmly believe that every person impacted by criminalization deserves the opportunity for long-term economic stability and wellness. By involving vulnerable individuals in addressing employment barriers and fostering a workplace that is inclusive, flexible, welcoming, safe, and secure, we’re not just creating jobs; we’re creating conditions for empowerment, commitment, and joy.

Our Impact Goal is clear – Anchored Mouse is dedicated to fostering wellness and long-term economic stability for women and gender-diverse individuals facing multiple barriers like poverty, homelessness, gender-based violence, and criminalization.
