Black Girls in Florida Schools

Bayliss Fiddiman, National Women’s Law Center, will join us to
discuss a case study of Black girls in Miami-Dade schools, and
their experience with harsh school discipline policies. The girls
reported harassment, harm, humiliation and other challenges.
The study provides recommendations to promote a positive

Thank you to the John Joseph Zitnay and Theresa Zitnay Trust

Terry Zitnay was a long-time member of the Flagler Branch and we recently received news of this unexpected and most generous bequest to the AAUW Flagler Local Scholarship Fund (501c3).   The generosity of this gift will enable the branch to continue and expand our scholarship activities for many years to come.


STEM CAMPS FOR YOUNG GIRLS

We send rising eighth grade girls to the AAUW FL Tech Trek camp each summer. Girls live on campus in residence halls, attend core classes, hands on workshops, field trips and a Professional Women’s Night. Potential campers must be in the seventh grade, nominated by their teacher, complete the application process and interview before selection is made by an AAUW state committee.  Read about Flagler County’s 2024 Tech Trek campers – Tech Trek | Flagler County (FL) Branch

    SCHOLARSHIPS FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS

We offer scholarships to qualified graduating high school seniors, continuing education students and middle and high school girls in grades 6 – 11 pursuing the study of the creative arts.  Our branch also donates to the Take Stock in Children program administered locally by the Flagler County Education Foundation.
