Women's History Month!

AAUW celebrates March as Women's History Month.

With nearly 12,000 active members, AAUW California is a dynamic organization with a long history of affecting change on the issues women care about: education, civil rights, equity in the workplace, reproductive rights, and gender discrimination, to name a few.

Membership is open to persons of any gender who hold an associate degree or higher. Students working toward a qualifying degree may become student affiliates.

Branch membership offers friendship with like-minded people and an arena for making a positive contribution in your community. You will also get the state-level hard-copy publication California Perspective, and you can join our e-mail lists and attend our annual convention. Membership at the branch level includes both California membership and National membership.

The Chico branch actively recruits new members and works hard to fulfill AAUW's goals:

  • We provide lifelong education via Monthly Interest Groups
  • We're involved in our community
  • We publish a monthly newsletter, the Chico Grapevine
  • We maintain a history of branch activities and accomplishments
  • We support and contribute to the National AAUW Organization

Who We Are:

  • AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.
  • By joining AAUW, we belong to a community that breaks through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance. AAUW membership is open to all graduates holding a recognized associate (or equivalent), baccalaureate, or higher degree from a qualified educational institution.
  • In principle and in practice, AAUW values and seeks a diverse membership. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or class.
