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.

"This started in 2023 when we wanted to focus on empowerment, opportunity, and service. That led us to partner with an organization supporting women in transition. I reached out to House of Ruth and they were incredibly receptive. We created a session around networking, resume building, and references, everything we thought might be helpful in that moment. The response was overwhelmingly positive and House of Ruth even invited us to come back."
