Why You'll Love It:

Assist Women's Network is a Tees Valley based organisation, set up in 2009, allowing women in business to grow professionally through a strong network of like-minded women. Made up of women from all sectors aged 16+, our team has a clear passion to make a difference for women and young people. Assist is a voluntary organisation, welcoming of all and completely inclusive regardless of an individual's race, nationality, disabilities, sexual preferences, religions and beliefs. We build awareness of business innovations that accelerate women's empowerment and have a real impact on women, families and communities. We are recognised for our openness and honesty, with many connections built through the network developing in to friendships, support groups and collaboration.

What You'll Learn:

As part of our volunteer group, you will have the opportunity to meet with women in business and the professional sectors, sharing and increasing your knowledge, skills and experience.
