The purpose of AAUW is to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.
AAUW's mission is to advance equity for women and girls through education, advocacy and research.

By joining AAUW, we belong to a community that breaks through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance. AAUW has unveiled some new programs for branches called Program in a Box that will help us put on programs that will enable us to break through barriers in our communities.  Read more about these programs and how you can use them successfully in your branch. You'll need to check back often as programs will be added on a regular basis.
