Our Community Engagement
At The Women's Advocacy Center, we envision communities that are trauma-informed, central locations in suburban communities where women can access needed programs and services, and collaboration among members of our communities who working together can help break cycles of abuse.
See how we are working towards our vision in the communities we serve.
Memphis Area Association of Realtors Nonprofit Expo
Members of our team participated in a half-day nonprofit expo hosted by MAAR. The event gave local realtors the opportunity to learn about the great work being done by local nonprofits. Engaging conversations shed light on opportunities for MAAR members can volunteer in the community.
