Who We Are
At Rebel Nell, we exist to provide employment, equitable opportunity, and wraparound support for women with barriers to employment, this includes those who have been faced with homelessness, returning citizens, refugees seeking asylum and awaiting citizenship, LGBTQIA, women living with mental illnesses, and women with physical disabilities. The women we serve are employed as Creative Designers and educated in jewelry design, customer service, and many other transferable workforce skills.
Workforce Development & Wraparound Support
Through our workforce program, we partner with strategic partners to create individualized support programs including financial training, life wellness, legal aid, housing resources, career education, micro-loans, and other wrap-around programs. The result is a societal impact that allows women to graduate to a life of self-sufficiency and equitable opportunity. As a social enterprise, we pride ourselves on being self-sufficient, meaning the work we do is completely funded by the sales of our jewelry - your purchase has a direct impact on the lives of the women we employ. YOU ARE MAKING AN IMPACT!
