Our Mission
To advance gender equality for women and girls through research, education and advocacy.
Our nonpartisan, nonprofit national organization has more than 170,000 members and supporters, 1,000 branches and 800 college and university partners.
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) is the nation’s leading voice promoting equity and education for women and girls. Since our founding in 1881, AAUW members have examined and taken positions on the fundamental issues of the day — educational, social, economic, and political.
Membership is open to anyone holding an associate’s (or equivalent, e.g. RN), bachelor’s, or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university.

Special Event on April 9th
AAUW and SparkPoint Unite to Ignite Connection
SparkPoint, in partnership with the Brevard AAUW Membership Committee, is hosting a special community presentation open to the public. This event aims to foster deeper connections, strengthen community ties, and enhance personal and collective well-being.
Sarah Hankey, Founder and Executive Director of SparkPoint, will lead an insightful discussion on the critical role of connection in supporting physical, emotional, and mental health. Connection is more than just social interaction, it’s a transformative force that builds resilience, promotes mental well-being, and unites community resources to create a lasting foundation of well-being for future generations.
Join us for an afternoon of thought-provoking discussion, where we will explore deeper ways to connect, build stronger relationships, and make a meaningful impact on our community.
