Junior Woman's Club of Williamsburg

LIVE EACH DAY WITH PURPOSE

The Junior Woman's Club of Williamsburg (JWCW) was established in 1954 as a volunteer organization for civic-minded women. Our mission is to live each day with a purpose. We support a wide variety of charitable organizations and community services through financial and volunteer assistance. We hold several fundraising events each year including Brews that Benefit and Art on the Square. Proceeds from those events are donated locally in the form of mini-grants to other non-profit organizations and awarded as scholarships to high school seniors. 

Last year, we were able to support the following organizations through mini-grants:

• Flute Frenzy

• Queens Lake Middle School

• Slam Connection

• Virginia Cooperative Extension, FCS Family Focus Program, James City County

• Virginia Down Syndrome Association

• Weighted Angels

• Williamsburg Youth Harp Society

JWCW is proud to be a member of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs (GFWC) and the Lee District of the GFWC Virginia. GFWC is one of the world's largest and oldest women's volunteer organizations. It was founded in 1890 and now has over 100,000 members in every state and nearly 4,000 clubs in various countries. The Lee District was formed in 1925 and is the second largest of the eight districts in GFWC Virginia. Stretching from Fluvanna County to the Chesapeake Bay, it is comprised of more than 1,355 members.
