PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

I am honored to be given the opportunity to serve as President of the Harrisburg Branch of AAUW. This prestigious and historic AAUW branch was founded in 1921 to share the gifts of education with the Harrisburg Community. This mission lives in purpose and practice to this day as the founding mothers of AAUW Harrisburg Branch envisioned it. Read More

AAUW Harrisburg continues to bring life to the AAUW Mission to Advance Equity for Women and Girls through:

Advocacy - Our members engage in public policy on the local, state and national levels and give voice to issues of concern to women, girls and families.
Education - Our members promote, through community outreach and scholarships, our belief that education is the gateway to economic security for women; and by sharing with the Harrisburg community.
Philanthropy - We have a history of making a difference locally through scholarships, support to local non-profits such as through our YWCA literacy program, and other community giving; and our fundraising and dues support the fellowships, grants and awards programs administered by AAUW nationally.
Research - Research is funded collectively by all AAUW branches through our dues and contributions to Association, and which, ultimately, AAUW Harrisburg Branch brings to light and usefulness through our local programs, publications and outreach that help women and girls live better lives.
