The Houston Area Women’s Center Young Leaders (HAWCYL) is a dynamic and energetic group of Houstonians in their 20s, 30s, and 40s committed to furthering the mission of the Houston Area Women’s Center.
We are dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault through fundraising and providing volunteers to support the efforts of the HAWC.
We seek to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for like-minded individuals of all genders and backgrounds to mingle and network with one another. HAWCYL is organized by a board of officers who contributes their time, resources, and ideas to support and sustain the Young Leaders group.
- Access to exclusive, mission-centered volunteer opportunities at HAWC and other like-minded organizations.
- Admission to 3 member-only events per year for you and a guest.
- An impactful community of like-minded individuals to join, network, and befriend.
- Early registration for upcoming HAWCYL events, fundraisers, and activities.
- Opportunities for change so that Houston is no longer one of the most violent cities in the United States.
- An understanding of community movements while developing communication and leadership skills.
- Inspiration in your community’s resolute determination to end sexual and domestic violence.
