Where Friendship Meets Purpose
Join a circle of women who lift each other up, make new friends, and help Utah County kids and families thrive.
What is Women United?
Women United is a group of women who show up for each other and for our community.
We’re moms, friends, professionals, neighbors—women who care deeply about kids, families, and helping each other feel a little more connected in this busy world. When women come together, amazing things happen. We laugh, we serve, we build friendships, and we make Utah County a better place for parents and children.
Our primary focus is on early childhood literacy and parent support, because when parents feel confident and kids fall in love with reading, the whole community becomes stronger.
Women United is a place where you can:
- Make genuine friendships with women who care about the same things you do
- Find meaningful ways to give back
- Bring your ideas, talents, and heart to something bigger
- Know your time and energy stay right here in Utah County
Why It Matters (& Why It Feels Good)

- Kids get more access to books

For Women Who Join:

Lending Libraries: Love + Books + Community
Women United currently supports 17 neighborhood lending libraries across Utah County.
Most are in neighborhoods where kids can’t easily get to a public library — so this brings the magic right to them.

These sweet little libraries help kids:
- Discover books
- Build confidence
- Meet other kids
- Feel that reading is fun
They also help moms and neighbors connect. Kids run into each other at the little library, parents meet in the yard, and suddenly, a neighborhood feels a little more like a community again.
Women United began expanding these libraries after the COVID-19 pandemic, when many families felt isolated. The libraries became little bright spots of connection — and they still are.
Ways to help with the libraries:
- Help tend or host a library
- Donate children’s books
- Support our literacy events
- Give financially to keep libraries stocked
We love kids. We love books. And we love what happens when we combine the two.
