Women United Membership

Where there is a need, women lead…

That is the credo of Women United! a group comprised of 200 Valley Women from all walks of life. United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley’s Women United! was established in May of 2014. The grassroots group is entering its sixth year with its passionate and caring women dedicated to making a tangible impact on the lives of our Valley’s children through volunteering in early Education. Its members are integral in several United Way programs – giving their time to mentor middle school aged girls in the Young Women’s Mentorship Program, tutoring elementary school children in Project More, volunteering as a Report Card Mentor, or helping out at the various Women United! events.

WOMEN UNITED MEMBER EXPERIENCE

  • "Being president of Women United is such an honor to be part of continuing to grow the reach of helping underprivileged children and families in our community. I've been able to see first hand how we can come together as a group of women, from all parts of our Valley, for one cause and make a difference in the lives of each of these kids," Sue Filipovich, co-owner of Burgan Real Estate and President of Women United. "I'm so impressed with the Success After 6 program, the United Way staff and their perseverance to support our efforts. However, the most impressive time for me is seeing the smiles on these kids when we volunteer and spend time encouraging them, helping them with schoolwork, or sponsoring events where they can just be kids."
