Women-helping-Women USA is a networking and support group to help with a wide range of issues both professional and personal that are confronting women.
Women are encouraged to engage in networking, and to help with mentoring other women, using a pay it forward culture.
Our parent organization Neighbors-helping-Neighbors has moved now its operating model from virtual meetings, face to face meeting to a one-on-one mentor/coach model. Our leaders and others who volunteer and are vetted by founder will offer one on one sessions with our membership information and a large amounts of resources for NhNUSA may be found at www.nhnusa.org.
Please feel free to use the free career resources on this site and join their Linked-In group.
