In honor of Women’s History Month, we are spotlighting some remarkable Atlanta nonprofits dedicated to supporting and empowering women. As a woman-owned business, Brownieland not only celebrates the achievements of women but also advocates for gender equality. One of the driving forces behind our commitment to uplifting women is Robyn, our co-founder, whose dedication to volunteerism has made a profound impact on the lives of girls in our community. Robyn’s journey began with her experiences in the Brownies and Girl Scouts, where she learned the importance of leadership, teamwork, and service to others. Building on this foundation, she became a volunteer coach with Girls On The Run, inspiring young girls to embrace their strengths and realize their full potential.

At Brownieland, we are honored to collaborate with a diverse range of Atlanta organizations that share our vision for empowering women. Together, we can continue to make strides towards a more equitable and inclusive world for all. Here are just a few of the incredible nonprofits we have had the opportunity to work with:

Jewish Women’s Fund of Atlanta 

Currently, Brownieland is filming with the Jewish Women’s Fund of Atlanta, an organization that addresses gender inequality in the Jewish community. Take a look at a video Brownieland produced in partnership with JWFA sharing their mission to promote social change and expand positive opportunities for Jewish women and girls. Find out how to get involved with JWFA here. 

Junior League of Atlanta 

The Junior League of Atlanta is an organization of women committed to advancing women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training. Robyn is an active member of the JLA, and Brownieland has volunteered with their ongoing initiatives, including the Handmade by JLA program, which supports local artisans and entrepreneurs. Whether it be serving dinner at the Agape Youth and Family Center through the Junior League of Atlanta’s JLA Serves program, volunteering at JLA’s partner, Georgia Radio Reading Service, or going the extra mile for literacy as part of JLA’s Literacy Walk, Brownieland is always ready to lend a hand to the Junior League of Atlanta’s incredible programs that support women in our community.

Motherhood Beyond Bars 

As we celebrate Women’s History Month, let us not forget the women who are often overlooked or marginalized, including those who are incarcerated. Motherhood Beyond Bars is an organization dedicated to supporting and advocating for incarcerated mothers, recognizing their humanity and inherent worth. Brownieland partnered with MBB writing letters to incarcerated mothers for our Quilted Together Project. Learn more about Motherhood Beyond Bars here.

As we celebrate Women’s History Month, it’s essential to reflect on the profound impact women have had throughout history and the ongoing journey towards gender equality. Volunteering in honor of Women’s History Month is a meaningful way to pay tribute to the legacies of those who came before us and support the ongoing struggle for women’s rights. Whether mentoring young girls, advocating for gender parity, or supporting organizations dedicated to women’s empowerment, each act of service contributes to a brighter, more equitable future for all. This March, let’s pay tribute to the resilience, strength, and achievements of women everywhere by committing to make a difference in our communities and beyond.
