Why Volunteer with the National Association of Professional Women (NAPW)?

We Make A Difference in the lives of women and girls, and our community. This is an excellent opportunity for career changers: those seeking a second career or anyone desiring "more" out of their career path. College interns or recent graduates gain valuable experience while networking with corporate, executives, business owners, educators, and other leaders from diverse industries.
