About JWCL

JWCL was founded in 1951 to unite women of our community and enrich its members intellectually and culturally. Membership in JWCL provides an opportunity for volunteer work in a group that derives strength from ‘unity in diversity’. Our members come from a variety of backgrounds and the club benefits from their unique perspectives and diverse interests.
Areas of interest for helping our community include:
· Domestic and Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention
· Advocates for Children
· Arts and Culture
· Civic Engagement and Outreach
· Education and Libraries
· Environment
· Health and Wellness
JWCL is always open to new members and new ideas! There are many levels of participation and invested time. Membership can be adapted to your personal talents, demands, and interests.
