Houston Area Women's Center (HAWC) Young Leaders creates opportunities for young professionals and community members to develop skills and build relationships that will help develop an understanding of how domestic and sexual violence affects communities. The group provides volunteer support, financial contributions and community advocacy for the Houston Area Women's Center.

Curious to learn about getting involved? Head over to Branch Water Tavern — where the drinks are great and the ambiance is chic — and mix-and-mingle with fellow young professionals looking to make a difference. Don't be shy about indulging in the complimentary nibbles and drink specials.

Mixers on the Map is CultureMap's series of young professional happy hours happening on the third Tuesday of the month.
