WClub's Mission

WClub's mission is provide LGBTQ+ women and allies opportunities to gather weekly for LGBTQ+ women focused and friendship oriented events.

Vision & Policies

Meeting a Need

WClub fills a void for many women in the LGBTQ+ community by providing simple gatherings between major events by other LGBTQ+ organizations, such as Pride organizations that hold only a few events per year for all LGBTQ+.

Women Focused

unlike most LGBTQ+ organizations, w club is focused on women. WClub is inclusive and encourages all LGBTQ+ people and allies to join and participate as long as they understand and respect our focus on women.

3. Alcohol Free Focus

4. Friendship Focused

5. Volunteer Driven

WClub is volunteer driven. No one is paid anything to set up the events and lead groups. If you are interested in becoming a leader, please reach out as leaders are always needed. To see roles leaders have had in past groups. click here.

6. Totally Free

WClub is not a for profit or a non-profit organization. No money should ever be taken from members for anything. We do not seek sponsorships and do not want to compete for local funds other LGBTQ+ groups need.

7. Affordability Focus

We try to schedule as many events that are free as we can. If we do schedule an event, such as meeting for a dinner where everyone pays their own checks, then we strive to choose venues where cost is reasonable.

8. Localized Groups

WClub is broken into localized groups to foster greater participation by members posting simple gatherings like "Who wants meetup to go for a walk?"

9. Synergy Across Groups

10. Member Created Events

WClub envisions members creating events in their local group when they plan to do something others may want to join in on.

11. Standardization of Roles

12. Privacy of Groups

When a new group starts it is started as Public to gain membership quickly. However after the group has been in place and roughly 100 people have joined, all groups are set to Private.

13. Inclusiveness Policy

WClub's policy is to not discriminate against anyone based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, and even political party.

14. Private Settings of Groups

15. Protecting Members

16. Working with Other LGBTQ+ Groups

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Women Focused" mean?

All are welcome to be part of the group. "Women focused" means we just all go into the group understanding dialogue and events will be a bit more oriented towards women's topics and issues.

Am I welcomed as Non-Binary and Trans?

Can I join as an Ally?

YES! YES! YES! This group is open to everyone that is an ally!

Can I bring my kids?

Most events are kid friendly, meaning there is no alcohol at them. None of our events are risque. We have put an asterisk next to events that we feel are kid friendly. But, each parent needs to judge for themselves.

Can I bring my spouse?

Is WClub for dating?

Can I bring a date to events?

Of course! Anyone can invite anyone else as long as folks are respectful.

Are there fees?

Never. WClub is completely volunteer run. That said, it will cease to exist if members do not jump in as coordinators of events or take on another leadership role. Please speak to the President of your regional group about helping?

Is WClub Modelled after a Earlier Organization?

What are future plans for WClub?

We will also likely be adding a LGBT+ women's homeless shelter network, women's clothing exchange, and some other women focused endeavors to help others. We will do these with zero budgets.
