About Women United
There is power when women come together and it's been proven over and over in studies that women who support women are more successful overall! Collectively, we can make a larger impact in business and in our community. We, at United Way, are harnessing all of the empowering energy in Clallam County to form a Women's United affinity group where we can come together, build skills, raise each other up and channel the power of collaboration...and have a ton of fun doing it! This will be an all inclusive safe space where we support each other and feel welcome to have a voice.
Our Women United affinity group aims to represent every race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, and religion; reflect a spectrum of gender identity; and connect across Clallam County. We wholly commit to being anti-racist and anti-oppressive so that, through our genuine connections, we are affirmed as we strive to make our community better and support each other!
