You are here: Home / Archives for Programs / Outstanding Mission-Based Programs

Our mission requires our ongoing commitment, dedication, and drive if we are to keep breaking down barriers to success and empowering all women and girls to thrive. Large, donor-dependent campaigns are certainly noteworthy and continue to bring AAUW and our policy concerns deserved nationwide attention. However, it is the small, local branch-funded programs that make the most direct impact on our communities. We encourage you to take inspiration from the branch programs we present here.

AAUW empowers all women

and girls to reach their 

HIGHEST potential.
