Women United is a program within the United Way of North Central Iowa. Women United is led by its members – women across Cerro Gordo, Floyd, Hancock, Worth, Franklin, Mitchell, Winnebago, and Kossuth counties. Women United helps lift women out of poverty by offering scholarships to women in need going through NIACC's Education to Employment program. This program provides academic and career support, to guide students through various educational pathways and into high-demand careers. Scholarships from Women United enable women to access essential resources, such as tuition assistance, textbooks, and personal support like transportation and groceries, ensuring they can focus on their studies and career goals without financial barriers. By empowering women to complete these programs, Women United helps create opportunities for long-term employment and economic independence while strengthening the workforce in North Iowa.
Women United is about women helping women.
Women United aims to bring together women throughout the North Central Iowa community to leverage their time, talents, and treasure for collective impact. The sum of the activities and interactions of Women United members is to create lasting change within their chosen issue area.
