However please note, men do not get access to the programs and the online community but are welcome to join THE Rural Woman Co-operative to show their support.

Members of THE RW Co-operative must be individuals. If an organisation or business wants to join the Co-op, they can, but it must be in the name of an Individual. We often partner and collaborate with organisations and businesses of like-mission. If that is you please contact us below and we look forward to connecting with you.
