Membership
We Invite You to Join AAUW
With nearly 13,000 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 and college campus, reproductive rights, and gender discrimination.
Our Mission Statement: AAUW advances equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research.
Our Value Promise: By joining AAUW, you belong to a community that breaks through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a chance.
Membership is open to people who hold an associate degree or higher. There are three ways for graduates to get involved with AAUW in California and students working toward a qualifying degree may become student affiliates.
Join a Local Branch
Branch membership offers friendship with like-minded people and an arena for making a positive contribution to your community. Benefits include a subscription to California PERSPECTIVE, our print publication. You can join our e-mail lists and attend our annual convention. Membership dues at the branch level includes California and National dues. Find a branch and contact it directly for membership information.
With 140 branches throughout California, you're sure to find one nearby. Check our Find a Branch page for a branch near you. Can't find one? Join our California Online Branch, no matter where you live in California or, for that matter, in the world.
Join as a California Member-at-Large
If you're too far from a branch, (don't forget the Online Branch!) you may become a California Member-at-Large. You'll receive the California PERSPECTIVE, join e-mail lists and blogs and attend the annual convention. You'll pay the 2010-11 year California dues of $16 plus the $49 national dues.
Contact Kris Downey or Jo Harberson, our Membership Directors, for more information.

Join as a National Member
Do you want to support AAUW's goals, but have no time to be an active member? You can join the national AAUW organization directly, bypassing branch and state membership. National dues are $49, of which $46 is tax-deductible. Currently, we have over 5,000 National Members in California. Read more about becoming a national member and join on the national AAUW website www.aauw.org.
Join as a Student Affiliate
College students of any age can become student affiliates, either through a branch or as a student affiliate-at-large. National student affiliate fees are $17, plus branch and state dues if you decide to join a branch as well. Students at colleges and universities which are AAUW partners may join as e-student affiliates absolutely free and continue their free membership until they graduate. Learn more on the national AAUW website www.aauw.org.
