Get to Know Us
Currently, WEL manages the Extra Toughs program, 12-week wellness cohorts for women survivors of breast and gynecological cancers. Our cohorts generally serve about 15 women in the Mat-Su and Anchorage area. This program was previously managed by Let Every Woman Know (LEWK). In 2023, WEL took over the Extra Toughs program, receiving our nonprofit status in December of 2023. The past year the organization has prioritized grant funding and developing organizational processes to minimize the administrative burden of running the organization. As we look ahead, we are working to build sustainable programming that will increase program participation. We rely heavily on grant funding and have organizational funding through October 2025. We will begin organizational strategic planning with support from the Mat-Su Health Foundation in October 2024. This process will provide additional direction for the E.D. position.
