We challenge women to grow in their human, cultural, intellectual, professional and spiritual development. Insightful guidance and mutual support help empower women to meet their highest goals and the particular demands of their lives. The activities are tailored to the needs of each age group.

Through the programs and outreach of Larkins Center, over 500 women per year from High School to retirement age receive life coaching and orientation, encouraging them to keep growing in all areas of their family,  professional and social life.

Activities of a spiritual nature organized in and through the Center are entrusted to Opus Dei, a personal prelature of the Catholic Church.
