Outdoor Peer Leaders Esther and Victoria led the last hike of the season to Tallulah Gorge! 🙌🏾 We are so thrilled that new hikers got to experience this place because of their commitment to organize it after the original was rained out. These hikes are more than women gathering for a walk. They take a lot of effort, many hands coming together to prepare, make lunch, drive, group text (a lot!) and most importantly, create spaces where our community members feel safe and free to have fun and connect. Because of the 9 Peer Leaders that have trained this year, the RWN Outdoor Wellness program will be community-led and this has a ripple effect. Our last big event is the backpacking trip on Halloween 🎃🥾 Please consider supporting the group by supporting the Nov 5th Global Feast Fundraiser or giving online at riwn.org. See you on the trail next year! Huge thanks to partners Summit Foundation, @rei and many individuals who cheer us on!

For RWN Board Member Ivelina Lee, the mission of Refugee Women’s Network is deeply personal. “RWN’s mission is close to my heart. Being an immigrant woman myself, I find inspiration and strength in the stories of perseverance, bravery, and empowerment of the women RWN serves.” Ivelina believes what makes RWN special is the way women are supported in building on their own strengths, creating opportunities, and moving forward with confidence. And one of the best ways to experience that spirit of community? Global Feast Under the Stars. Through food, stories, art, and connection, Global Feast brings together the people and cultures that make our community extraordinary—all while supporting RWN’s work with refugee and immigrant women and families. Join Ivelina and the RWN community on November 5. Purchase your tickets and come experience Global Feast Under the Stars.

Every Community Needs Someone They Can Trust. 🫂 When families arrive in a new country, navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system can feel overwhelming. Language barriers, cultural differences, and limited access to trusted information often stand between people and the care they need.

They don’t just connect families to resources; they build relationships, restore confidence, and help women and families feel seen, supported, and empowered. 💛 We have an exceptional CHW team: Esther, Gaby, Hawa, Marhaba, Memory, and Muna! 💪🏽⚡️ This is one of the many programs supported by Global Feast Under the Stars.
