WOMEN UNITED LEADERSHIP

WE IGNITE CHANGE!

We tackle the issues that keep 20% of Southwest Louisiana's community members entrenched in poverty. We empower each other to leverage our passions, ideas, expertise and resources to transform the very conditions in which people live. By investing in local solutions and advocating for change, we're able to positively impact our hometown while also being part of the bigger picture and broader cause.

WE ENGAGE!

• You are a part of a community of like-minded women who contribute their personal passions, best ideas, and unique strengths to the mission of building a stronger Southwest Louisiana.
• Volunteer within our community alongside others looking to create change.
• Network and collaborate with key business and community leaders at exclusive events.
• Learn more about critical issues impacting our community.
• Advocate for key community issues at the local and state level.

WE BELIEVE IN EDUCATING OUR YOUNGEST!

Read the 2022 Op-Ed regarding Early Childhood Education

Studies show that the foundation for learning and development is laid before a child reaches kindergarten. Early learners who attend high-quality, publicly subsidized programs perform better in school. With over 40% of Lousiana children beginning kindergarten behind their peers, Women United Southwest Louisiana is advocating for an investment by the state in Child Care Assistance. Read our Op-Ed and if you believe every boy or girl in this state, regardless of income, should have the proper foundation for a chance at a bright future, contact your legislators.
