Why We're Here
Women make up 52% of the Madison County population, and we believe that we have a responsibility to help build and shape the culture of our communities. We began our public service in 2018, encouraging civic participation, conducting surveys, and providing nonpartisan materials to voters. In 2019 we expanded, launching our interview skills and business etiquette workshops based on local workforce development and employment needs.
United Women of Color exists to provide opportunities for advancement and equity through educational programs, civic engagement, and the provision of community resources to fill gaps of need specific to our area.
We desire to increase educational achievement, self-sufficiency of families, voter participation of all citizens, and women leadership in the public sector and decrease dysfunctional relationships, crime, and deteriorating communities.
