A:
At Hot Mess Express, our primary focus is on empowering and supporting women, and we prioritize providing a safe and empowering experience for our volunteers and the women in our community.
Each Affiliate has the autonomy to decide whether they are comfortable approving men as volunteers and/or nominees. While we respect the autonomy of each Affiliate it is essential to prioritize the safety and comfort of the women we aim to assist. In situations where men are approved as volunteers, we ensure transparent communication with all participants. Every woman we help will be informed of the potential presence of male volunteers during our events or activities, allowing them to make informed decisions about their participation.
This commitment to open communication and respect for individual choices is fundamental to maintaining a supportive and inclusive atmosphere within our organization. We encourage an ongoing dialogue between volunteers and the women we assist, fostering an environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and empowered to contribute to the collective well-being of our community.
