  • College scholarships to high school senior girls from Madera High School, Madera South High School, Liberty High School, and Alternative Education
  • Grants that send 7th grade girls to Tech Trek, a science and math camp at CSU Fresno
  • The camaraderie of educated women with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
  • Membership in state and national AAUW organizations
  • Special Activity for National Fossil Day at the Fossil Discovery Center
  • Annual summer retreat for planning

Together we work to advance equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.  Along the way we make new friends and pursue common interests.
