Monsoon’s Personal Empowerment Series is a workshop program aimed at providing information beneficial for clients to live more confidently in various aspects of their lives. The voluntary service model allows clients the freedom to attend sessions based on their interests or needs; and give feedback on subjects they are interested in learning more about.

Client-led discussions resulted in topics ranging from Housing Rights and Protections in Iowa to Financial Literacy, to “Know Where to Go: Navigating Healthcare” to Homebuyer Education, among others. This is a closed program offered to Monsoon clients, only.
