American Association of University Women - Vero Beach Branch

The AAUW Vero Beach Branch advances equity for women and girls through education, leadership, advocacy, and philanthropy. As part of American Association of University Women, we connect local impact with a national movement dedicated to expanding opportunity and breaking barriers for women.

In Indian River County, we raise funds to provide scholarships to local women pursuing higher education and create programs that promote civic engagement, informed dialogue, and community leadership. Our members are professionals, educators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who believe that investing in women strengthens families, businesses, and the entire community.

We are more than a membership organization — we are a network of action-driven women committed to measurable impact, meaningful service, and building a stronger future through the power of education.

AAUW Vero Beach Branch is a community of educated, engaged women committed to advancing equity for women and girls in Indian River County. As a local branch of the American Association of University Women, we combine grassroots action with the strength of a national organization that has advocated for women’s rights and educational access for more than a century.

We serve women at all stages of life — from students pursuing higher education to professionals, retirees, and emerging leaders seeking meaningful community involvement. Through locally funded scholarships, educational programs, leadership opportunities, and civic engagement initiatives, we invest directly in advancing women’s economic security.

Our values are rooted in education, inclusion, integrity, and impact. We believe informed voices shape stronger communities, and that when women are supported, empowered, and connected, everyone benefits. Our branch provides a space for collaboration, service, and thoughtful dialogue — where women come together not just to meet, but to make a difference.
