It's International Women's Day!

Let's celebrate the achievements of female trailblazers, especially in the nonprofit sector.

This International Women's Day, we invite you to join the Women @ Work online community hosted by The Nonprofit Partnership! Exclusive to female staff and board members of NPP member organizations, this LinkedIn group creates a space for women in the nonprofit sector to connect, learn, and grow together. Benefit from a closed online community where you can post questions, share resources, and engage in meaningful discussions.

Note: If you previously signed up for the Women @ Work group through Mobilize, we will now exclusively use LinkedIn for our online discussions.
