Women United, D.C. United’s signature program, is dedicated to empowering women in transition across the District by providing the support and resources they need to gain and sustain employment.

Led by D.C. United’s front office staff and female-identifying leaders from across sports and business, each session is thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of the women at House of Ruth. Through hands-on workshops, professional development, and personal growth opportunities, we equip participants with the skills and confidence to build a brighter future.

Together with House of Ruth, we are committed to creating pathways for upward mobility—because when women thrive, our entire community grows stronger.

"Through Women United, we’ve been able to build something really special — not just workshops, but a supportive and empowering community. From facilitating sessions focused on job readiness and confidence-building to navigating emotional awareness and workplace culture, each session is designed with intention. Over time, we’ve seen women find employment opportunities — some right here at Audi Field — secure stable housing, and find consistency in the small things, like having access to feminine hygiene kits or hosting sessions in a newly refurbished space that the women can feel supported and confident in. It’s a reminder that when we show up with care and consistency, real change happens."
