We seek to empower female students and remove barriers from underprivileged women in our community, such as abused women, single mothers, and homeless women. Women in these situations are not given the opportunities for success as many others are, so our club strives to help level the playing field through three main goals. 1) Bring awareness to the difficulties that are faced by women in these situations. This gives new perspective to lesser known issues in our very own city. 2) Give students the opportunity to directly engage with these women. We believe that a deeper understanding and appreciation is built when we are able to see the change we are making in the lives of others. 3) This club strives to empower all women and through the support of students show women that they are capable of moving past the rough parts of their lives to embrace a positive future. Our club brings together inspiring students with similar goals to help other women around them and ultimately build a tight-knit and supportive community! Empowered students empower others!

Western for the Elderly brings together Western students with London’s elderly population in hopes to unite the two in sharing ideas, attending events and forming friendships! In a society with an ever aging population, we seek to ameliorate the lives of the elderly using the young, enthusiastic personalities that Western students maintain in order to decrease the loneliness of the elderly and by helping them with everyday tasks.
