GFWC Paradise Valley Junior Woman's Club
We are the GFWC Paradise Valley Junior Woman's Club of Arizona and we are part of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. The General Federation of Women’s Clubs is one of the world’s largest and oldest nonpartisan, nondenominational, women’s volunteer service organizations. It was founded in 1890 and chartered by the 56th United States Congress in 1901.
More than 100,000 members in affiliated clubs in every state and more than a dozen countries work in their own communities to support the arts, preserve natural resources, advance education, promote healthy lifestyles, encourage civic involvement, and work toward world peace and understanding.
The club focuses on projects that benefit their community and the world, while strengthening and building leadership and friendship among its’ members. Club membership is open to all women aged 18 years and older.
Junior Pledge
I pledge my loyalty to the Junior Clubwoman. By doing better than ever before, what work I have to do. By Being prompt, honest and courteous. By living each day, trying to accomplish something, not merely to exist.

Mother's Day Purse Project
2022
Paradise Valley Junior members and guests came together to help create Mother's Day purses for Women's Hope Center. For over 38 years, Women's Hope Center has provided a safe haven for at-risk women and girls across Arizona to get back on their feet; serving, teaching & supporting women in any difficult life situation. Over 100 purses were filled with various toiletries, makeup, jewelry and small gifts by PVJWC and given to Hope Women's Center clients providing them with a special Mother's Day gift.
