The American Association of University Women is a national organization that promotes equity for all women and girls, lifelong education, and positive social change. The AAUW offers scholarships, action for gender equity, and support for personal and professional growth, community leadership, and friendship.
AAUW in Our Community
The La Mesa - El Cajon Branch was formed in 1951. Members enjoy the opportunity to meet other professional women in our regular meetings and social gatherings geared toward their special interests. Our monthly meetings feature speakers discussing current events and women's issues.
Education
AAUW is dedicated to education and with this as our primary focus, we offer annual collegiate scholarships. We also contribute to the Education Foundation, which supports graduate students and funds national research studies. We sponsor young women who participate in Tech Trek, a science and math summer camp program.
