We’re honored to share that Forbes Women recently featured Working for Women as part of their National Volunteer Month coverage, highlighting how we are reinventing leadership through the power of skill-based volunteering.

In the article, Dr. Cheryl Robinson explores how Working for Women’s “skillunteering” model empowers corporate employees to build leadership skills while strengthening grassroots nonprofits — creating lasting impact across communities, businesses, and individual careers.

As our founder and CEO, Beth Bengtson, shared in the feature:

“Leadership isn’t just built in boardrooms. It’s built when employees step outside their comfort zones to solve real-world problems and find their voice.”

At Working for Women, we believe that social good and business success are not competing goals — they are two sides of the same coin. Our work bridges these goals, investing in women’s financial independence while helping companies deepen leadership development, employee engagement, and community impact.

By creating opportunities for meaningful contribution and growth, we’re not just developing leaders — we’re reinventing leadership for a more inclusive and purpose-driven future.

We are deeply grateful to Forbes Women and Dr. Robinson for amplifying our mission and the growing ripple effect of change skillunteering is creating — yet another example of how reinventing leadership can drive progress across sectors.
