Women United

Be Inspired. Be Empowered. Join Women United.

For decades, women have been the heart and soul of United Way of Northwest Connecticut — leading with purpose, lifting others through service, and creating lasting change in our community. Whether through leadership on the board, championing campaigns, or mobilizing networks of support, their impact has been extraordinary.

 

Women United is a powerful affinity group that honors this legacy and empowers the next generation of changemakers. Come discover how you can be part of something bigger, because when women unite, incredible things happen.

Our Women United group successfully completed four weeks of “Healthy Bites and Kitchen Basics” cooking classes in collaboration with a youth group affiliated with New Opportunities in Torrington. Sixteen students joined this hands-on program aimed at imparting essential kitchen skills, fostering healthy eating habits, and boosting self-confidence.
 
Over the summer, we recreated this program with campers at YMCA’s Camp M.O.E.. We met once per session with the Elk age group and the LIT program.
 
Women United is eager to carry on this initiative, aiming to create a lasting impact on local ALICE families through education, connection, and support.
