Women United

  Our Mission: EMPOWERING the women of Charlotte County in the areas of education, financial stability, and wellness.

Leading the Charge. Inspiring the Change.

Women United focuses on women’s initiatives to build a stronger community in Charlotte County, Florida. Together, we can create lasting change on a scale that no single individual or organization could achieve on their own.

Women United is open to all women interested in sharing their talents and passions. Our participants are women of all ages, backgrounds, and career paths who offer their time, talent, and treasure in a way that meets their individual philanthropic needs.

Women United mobilizes women who strengthen our community by investing in and promoting programs that positively impact our community’s children, families, and future. Members engage with one another and participate in events and volunteer projects to learn, share, and grow.

 

This is done through assisting the Kids Thrive Circle of Parents peer support group, women who are raising children exposed to early childhood trauma. By surrounding themselves with like-minded women, these mothers are setting themselves and their children up for success through the ups and downs of life's journey.
