Who we are:

A group of women and men who work in North Carolina to carry out the mission of the American Association of University Women — advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, and research.

What we do:

In communities across the state we

work with girls (and boys!) in the schools to improve education through projects from distributing books to elementary school students to working with high school girls to integrate math and science into a fitness program
collaborate with other members of the NC Women United coalition to support each others’ legislative agendas
work with students on campuses across the state to build advocacy skills through Action for Children’s “Young Advocates Toolkit”
raise funds to support local, state and national efforts
