Auburn
Branch is celebrating its 60th Anniversary ALL YEAR !
By joining AAUW you
belong to a community that breaks through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance.
Since 1881 the American Association of University Women has been the nation's leading voice promoting education and equity
for women and girls.
Through its vital nationwide network, AAUW opens doors for women and girls and influences
public debate on critical social issues such as education, civil rights, and health care.
AAUW also sponsors community
programs; publishes groundbreaking research on women, girls, and education; provides the world’s largest source of funding
exclusively for graduate women; and fights sex discrimination in education.
AAUW’s work extends globally
through its membership in "One Shared World" and "CARE". There are 72 national federations and associations
worldwide.
Our local branch sends Fifth Graders to the Library each year for an educational adventure. We also
send 7th Grade girls to the AAUW sponsored "Tech Trek" - a science summer camp at Stanford University focusing on
Science, Technology, Environment and Math.
We have qualified for tax-exempt status on donations for local, as well
as, national scholarships (Education Foundation). Our local scholarships benefit graduating high school girls and Sierra College
re-entry women. We also support the Legal Advocacy Fund focusing on sex discrimination in the workplace.
