Introducing the New Hard Hatted Women

As a volunteer-driven organization in an evolving non-profit sector and a competitive global economy, HHW Ohio is moving from a program-based organization to a people and partnership-centered organization. HHW Ohio is using the model: “Find Out, Get In, Move Up, Give Back” to mobilize role models and mentors, industry leaders and community champions.

Industry Partnerships

HHW Ohio has cultivated great relationships with employers, mentors and leaders that support our mission. We expand these partnerships everyday through working within the community.

Community Based Program Collaborations

Our programs are community based and enabled by local leadership, employers and participants. We have many successes collaborating within our community and work to do more in the future.

Outreach and Advocacy

Publicizing the issues and advocating for change is important to our mission. We use outreach and advocacy to raise public awareness, but also educate on how HHW Ohio is working to promote and enable women in technical fields.

HHW is leading the way to empower women and unlock their value and potential. Below are just a few of the metrics that show why we are so dedicated to this work.
