WE CAN --Women's Empowerment through Cape Area Networking-- empowers Cape Cod women of all ages undergoing challenging life transitions by providing services that bring increased opportunity, self-sufficiency, stability, and lasting positive change for themselves, their families and, ultimately, our entire community.
Through the generosity of Cape attorneys who donate their time, WE CAN offers low and moderate income women a range of free legal services some of which include one-to-one 30-minute consultations with an attorney on many topics, and legal workshops.
