What is AAUW?

The American Association of University Women, the oldest women's organization in the United States, was founded in 1881, and promotes equity for all women and girls, life-long education, and positive societal change.


Education as the Gateway to Women's Economic Security

This theme represents a shared commitment by the Association and the Educational Foundation to build a coordinated, collaborative, and contemporary portfolio of AAUW programs that will serve the mission of AAUW, support and engage members and prospective members, and, in the process, move the organization forward in a focused and strategic manner.

Find many practical resources to facilitate branches with implementing programs based on this Education as the Gateway theme. Read the easy-to-use one page document of resources.
