ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
The Women In Need (W.I.N.) Initiative was launched April 1, 2009.
In partnership with women's shelters, HWNT Dallas members help women in distress. Our first partnership was with Genesis Women's Shelter. In October 2010, we began a partnership with The Family Place.
HWNT Dallas members host a series of workshops in Spanish to Hispanic clients in the shelter, covering a variety of personal and professional development topics. Topics are based on our own personal and professional expertise. Workshops are conducted the last Wednesdays of each month.
