Become an AAUW Member Today

Be a part of Florida’s AAUW community – working for gender equity since 1929 and part of a nationwide organization founded in 1881 by and for university college graduates. We’re nonpartisan, fact-based, inclusive, intersectional, and intergenerational. We work to break down education and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance. Members in some 30 branches throughout Florida make an impact in their local communities, with projects that focus on education, economic security, and equal opportunity for all. The state organization – AAUW Florida – connects the branches, creating a powerful coalition that addresses state and regional issues, and provides support for branch activities. All branch members are members of AAUW Florida.  Find a branch near you.
