Women United connects and engages women who want to make a significant impact in our community.

Are you a dynamic, passionate, and community-minded woman? Then consider membership in Women United!

Why Engage

  • Network with other influential women who have a passion for the community through quarterly social events and volunteer opportunities.
  • Participate in volunteer projects that make a meaningful impact in our community, such as GEM (Girls EMpowered), our after-school program for fifth-grade girls at Hillandale and Upward Elementary Schools, and middle school girls at Hendersonville Middle School. 
  • Know that your contribution not only supports United Way’s work to improve education, income, and health but also supports focused projects that benefit low-income children in our local schools.
