Welcome to GFWC ILLINOIS!
GFWC Illinois is a philanthropic organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service. Collectively we are living the Volunteer Spirit. We are one of fifty (50) states and countries around the world that make up the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) organization. Becoming a GFWC member means joining a local GFWC Illinois club and participating with more than 60,000 members who are actively engaged in volunteer community service in clubs across the globe.
GFWC Illinois clubwomen are united by a desire to create positive change in their communities, with diversity in age, interests and experiences. Illinois is proud to have 140 clubs statewide with three levels of membership – Woman’s, Junior and Juniorettes. Woman’s Clubs are clubs that are not otherwise designated as Juniorette or Junior Clubs. Junior Woman’s Clubs are also known as Junior clubs, and vary in age range. Juniorette clubs are composed of young women in junior or senior high school with an age range from 12 to 18 years.
If you are interested in joining us in volunteer service, please contact our GFWC Illinois Headquarters and we will direct you to the nearest GFWC Illinois club.
GFWC Illinois Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement: Our strength comes from our Motto “Unity in Diversity” and we celebrate the visible and invisible qualities that make each person unique, including race, gender, age, sexuality, ability, religion, national origin, gender identity and other identities.
GFWC Illinois believes in fostering an inclusive, equitable climate and culture where all members of our diverse community can thrive.
