History
InStepp, Inc. is a community-based, 501(c)(3), charitable organization located in the City Center district of downtown Durham. Our corporate mission is to empower at-risk women and adolescent girls to rise above the odds and succeed personally and professionally. InStepp uses gender-responsive treatment approaches to address the specific needs and issues of its target populations. As a lean organization, InStepp is heavily focused on engaging volunteers and partners to help achieve its mission.
InStepp also advocates for public policy changes that will improve the quality of life of at-risk women within the Triangle area community. This is accomplished through participation in coalitions and grassroots organizing and messaging campaigns aimed at educating and engaging the public around issues that impact the quality of life of InStepp’s target audience.
Although founded in 2004, InStepp did not begin to provide direct service support to clients until April 2007, following the retirement of its founder. Since that date, we have served over 150 adult at-risk women with significant barriers to employment using gender-responsive treatment approaches to address their specific needs and issues.
Mission
To create a vibrant community by empowering at-risk women and adolescent girls to rise above the odds and succeed personally and professionally, through innovative gender-responsive training, education and prevention services.
Vision
InStepp aspires to be a leader in empowering at-risk women to rise above the odds, succeed in all of their life’s goals, and contribute to making their respective communities thrive on all levels as caring, giving workers, citizens and family members.

- Innovative – We do what it takes to help our clients succeed and our communities thrive.
