WHO WE ARE - WHAT WE DO

The General Federation of Women's Clubs of Tennessee is a volunteer service organization whose members are united by a dedication to personal and community improvement. Since 1896 the federated women of Tennessee have worked together to build and support libraries, procure pure food and drug laws, protect the rights of children, promote safety, encourage healthy lifestyles, and promote education and the arts. We are diverse and united in our efforts.

Our parent organization, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, is headquartered in Washington, D.C. We are the largest and oldest women's service organization in the world with clubs in all fifty states, all US territories, and in twenty countries worldwide. We are nonsectarian, nonprofit, and nonpartisan.

GFWC members include teachers, business owners, social workers, elected officials, medical professionals, corporate executives, students, and retirees. Although there is considerable diversity in ages, interests, and experiences, these women are united by a heightened sense of responsibility to themselves, their communities, nation, and world. For more information check out the official website at www.GFWC.org.

The GFWC of Tennessee has clubs in all areas of the state. Membership is open to anyone who wants to network, contribute, and develop through volunteer service. We welcome the opportunity to show you how to become involved.
