Our philanthropic work covers a wide range of interests. For organizational purposes, we function in six main departments as established by the GFWC. They are - Arts, Conservation, Education, Home Life, International Affairs, and Public Affairs.

Although our federation gives our club the tools and information to use as a guide, it is our choice to determine the areas that best fit the needs of our community and the interests of our members.

Arts

Join us as we use the arts to reach and help "at risk" kids. Share and showcase your talents with arts and crafts workshops and contests. Support women in the arts and participate in community art events.

Conservation

Learn about energy and natural resource conservation as well as solid waste management issues. Participate in local clean-up, beautification, and conservation projects such as Jax-Pride, Adopt-A-Manatee, B.E.A.K.S., and historical preservation.

Education

Be informed and become involved with important education issues such as literacy, learning disabilities, and legislation issues. Promote continued lifetime learning and the development of young leaders. Work with local schools, libraries, and learning centers. Support organizations like the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Foundation (HOBY) which gives outstanding students the opportunity to attend three-day leadership training seminars in their areas.

Home Life

Focus on issues that impact the family such as family economics, substance abuse, and health. Special emphasis on women's health issues and disabled citizens. Assist organizations like Hacienda Girls Ranch, ROCK Camp, Canine Companions, March of Dimes and the Special Olympics.

International Affairs

Develop an awareness of international events and issues. Promote understanding and cooperation among various international cultures. Assist women and children in developing countries. Support groups such as UNICEF, CARE, and Operation SMILE.

Public Affairs

Become informed on issues such as crime prevention, victim's rights, and safety. Promote responsible citizenship. Work with local groups such as the Justice Coalition, the local police, the Rape Crisis Center, and Veteran's Affairs.
