Women for Women – Indeed!

Our VOICE is thrilled to have been chosen as one of the five recipients of the prestigious “Women for Women” grant through The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina.  This grant is helping to launch our Teen Tech Safety Program which will educate youth about the consequences of sexting and sharing explicit photos via technology.  We are looking forward to beginning this project in the 2013-2014 school year and will soon share information on how the community can help.

To learn more about how you can be involved in the incredible things that can happen through women’s collective philanthropy – please visit the CFWNC website.
