The journey to success for women and non-binary individuals can be fraught with obstacles, glass ceilings, and various challenges.
Your gift of time or money enables us to make a positive impact in their life and that of their family.
At Helping Women Now, we believe that all women and non-binary individuals should be able to define their potential on their own terms. We empower them with tools to overcome barriers that may impede their success.

Irina’s Story
“The sessions gave me a better understanding of what to do in order to find a job in Canada.”
I had 2 online sessions with a Career Support Specialist (Resume and Cover Letter review, and a Practice Interview). Both were very professional and personable volunteers. The sessions gave me a better understanding of what to do in order to find a job in Canada.
KJ’s Story
“The Career Support Specialist made me feel good about myself, where I am heading and how to set myself up for success.”
We touched on many subjects — trepidation with some of my interview answers, resume advice, the various additional supports available at my local affiliate. The Career Support Specialist made me feel good about myself, where I am heading and how to set myself up for success. I thoroughly enjoyed the advice, expertise, and knowledge she shared with me. I left the Zoom chat thankful for this service and thrilled to know that I can receive more assistance if needed. This encouragement is so helpful.

Teresa’s Story
“My Career Support appointment was as helpful personally as it was technically.”
Resume and job search advice is always welcome (and was indeed helpful). The personal support during this period of isolation was also highly meaningful. I know we think of COVID-19 as a unique time, but job searches can be isolating regardless, and this support provided me with a real boost.
