Sign up to find out more
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 Mentoring
Women United is organizing a mentoring program for women by women. We believe that quality mentoring relationships are powerful and transformative experiences for both the mentee and mentor. Mentors do not need to be experts or skilled educators. Mentoring candidates should be excellent listeners, compassionate, and available for three-month relationships.
