Step Up Women's Network: WE Volunteer Charity of the Month

Would you like to volunteer with a program that empowers teen girls? You might want to join the Step Up Women's Network.

Each month, WE Volunteer chooses an organization to highlight as its Charity of the Month. October's Charity of the Month is the Step Up Women's Network.

The Step Up Women's Network is a national nonprofit membership organization dedicated to strengthening community resources for women and girls through teen empowerment programs for underserved girls, women's health education and advocacy, professional mentorship and social networking opportunities. You can join a local chapter in New York City, Chicago or Los Angeles, or become a national member.

To learn more about the work the Step Up Women's Network does, peruse Getting a Leg Up with Step Up by Step Up's Managing Director Angie Grabski on Intent.com, and watch a short video about the organization on the Inspiration Lounge TV post, Help empower teens through the Step Up Women's Network.

Last week, DSW presented Step Up & Step Out in New York City to benefit the Step Up Women's Network. You can read more about the event, and view photos of celebrity guests Kelly Rutherford and Vanessa Minnillo on Marc Hall Photography, the ShoeTube.tv blog, and InTouch.
