Greetings from the Charlotte Section National Council of Negro Women (CSNCNW). Founded in 1976, the Charlotte Section NCNW continues the mission to lead, advocate for, and empower women of African descent, their families, and communities. This includes empowering families and youth through education and community engagement throughout the greater Charlotte metropolitan and surrounding areas. The Charlotte Section NCNW seeks to improve the lives of women and families of color in the community through advocacy and civic engagement efforts.

Dr. McLeod Bethune founded The National Council of Negro Women, Inc, in 1935 under the premise of resiliency, diplomacy, and collaboratives. NCNW is the organization of organizations with over 240 chapters. Motivated with purpose, passion, and a legacy of 87 years, the Charlotte Section NCNW endeavors to focus our efforts in areas of social justice, promotion of equity in housing, healthcare, and education.

To achieve our initiatives, CSNCNW will continue to focus on collaboration that align with the needs of Charlotte and surrounding areas to improve the social standing of underprivileged individuals by identifying barriers and inequities that occur in society and replacing them with community resources. Our past efforts have included school supply drives that provided needed resources to students in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools and surrounding areas, sharing information for health and well-being throughout communities of color, and voter registration initiatives.

Change begins with an idea. Make an investment in community and let us know your concerns. We are actively seeking leaders to increase well-being and self-sufficiency in our communities by empowering and educating youth, women, and their families.
