I recently had an opportunity to volunteer with InStepp, Inc. as a clerical assistant. What can I say about the experience? The ladies I worked with were phenomenal. When you walk through the door, you can literally feel their positive energy. It was amazing to assist Ms. Womble as well as the ladies on her team.
They do a great deal for their clients throughout the community, and the organization truly lives up to its mission statement. Ms. Womble exemplifies a servant leader and the ladies on her team do as well. The women at InStepp, Inc. work extremely hard in terms of empowering at-risk women throughout our community -- and helping countless women to succeed on a professional level. As a volunteer with this organization, I am eternally grateful for the experience. Volunteer with this organization -- you definitely won't regret it!!
