Who we are
Listen to our President’s speech at the closing bell at Nasdaq to learn more about Ready to Empower
Ready to Empower (RTE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to mental health support through sustainable mental health programs, education, and partnerships.
We champion mental wellness as the starting point for meaningful empowerment. By supporting women, strengthening schools, and working alongside community partners, we help individuals build confidence, resilience, and the tools they need to create positive change in their own lives and communities.
What we do
Ready to Empower bridges gaps in mental health support by bringing programs directly to communities where they are needed most. Through the Ready Empowerment Program™ and Ready EmpowerED™, we empower individuals and strengthen communities.
The Ready Empowerment Program™
Global Mental Health & Empowerment
Partners with women-focused organizations to deliver mental health and empowerment programs in underserved communities worldwide. Through funding and implementation support, we help local partners deliver and sustain the program.
Ready EmpowerED ™
Mental Wellness for Schools & Communities
Delivers mental wellness and emotional resilience education for educators, parents, and students-supporting healthier school environments across the U.S. .
Our Impact
Real Change. Lasting Ripple Effects.
Highlights the measurable outcomes and personal stories behind our work, that demonstrate how access to mental health support strengthens individuals, families, and communities.
WHY WE DO IT
Mental health needs continue to outpace available resources, leaving too many without consistent, quality support. Without a strong foundation of mental wellness, the impact extends far beyond emotional well-being, limiting the ability to move forward and create lasting change.
Ready to Empower exists to bridge this gap by expanding access to mental health programs that build confidence, resilience, and agency, ultimately empowering individuals to pursue opportunities, achieve greater stability, and create stronger communities.
Mental health needs exist in every community and every country. Nearly one in seven people worldwide live with a mental disorder, yet most do not have access to effective care.
In 2024, 58% of public schools reported increased demand for school-based mental health services, yet only 48% said they could effectively serve all students in need.
