THE GENERAL FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S CLUBS (GFWC)

There are many benefits of belonging to a socially conscious network of active women with roots in local communities and branches around the world. Local clubs focus on meeting specific needs in their communities through volunteer service projects. GFWC program materials, publications, meetings, seminars, and conventions assist our members in designing and implementing effective programs and projects. Opportunities are available for local, state and national recognition through program awards. Federation is the mechanism through which information, ideas, insights and inspiration are promoted and shared.

GFWC~ It’s a VOLUNTEER Thing!

THE GENERAL FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S CLUBS (GFWC) is one of the world’s largest and oldest women’s volunteer service organizations. Working locally through thousands of clubs in the United States and globally in more than 20 countries, GFWC members support the arts, preserve natural resources, promote education, encourage healthy lifestyles, stress civic involvement, and work toward world peace and understanding. Clubs shape their local agendas to suit particular community needs. Each local chapter benefits from membership, service, material, and program support from state and national Federation levels. GFWC headquarters in Washington, DC, a National Historic Landmark, houses the Women’s History and Resource Center, a collection of books, periodicals and records devoted to women’s history and women in volunteer organizations.

The California Federation takes pride in its community service projects. We are especially proud of our efforts to enhance the leadership, tutoring and mentoring skills of our volunteers, members of the community and especially today’s youth. Through seminars, conferences, forums, and traveling leadership teams, we can make a difference in the way people cope in their day-to-day lives, in our ever-changing complex world.

 

CFWC’S GOALS:

  • To encourage leadership for individuals, for schools and for our communities.
  • To provide guidance in a variety of areas such as women’s health, prevention of family violence, child abuse prevention, and crime prevention.
  • To train volunteers who will work to eradicate illiteracy.
  • To provide our youth with the vocational and technical tools they need to be successful and productive citizens.
  • To motivate and produce the kind of volunteers who will meet the needs of their communities and make a positive impact in California.
