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 composed of general members and is organized/maintained by a Board of officers who contribute 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 up to 3 member-only events per year for you and a guest
- Meeting people, make friends, and join an impactful community of like-minded individuals
- Early registration for upcoming HAWCYL events, fundraisers, and activities.
- Serving as a catalyst for change so that Houston is no longer the most violent city in the United States
- An understanding of community movements and aligning values, while developing communication and leadership skills
- Finding inspiration in your community’s resilience and approaches to ending sexual violence and domestic violence
