A Community of Women Giving Back

Her Community is a small network of women in Simcoe County who volunteer together to support local charities and non-profits.

We come together once a month (or so) to give back as a group.

This is for women who want to:

  • Volunteer alongside other women

  • Build a genuine community while doing good

"Your career is only a job if that's how you treat it. But if your view it as a tool to achieve your dreams it can be so much more!"
