Family of Women
Provides a supportive environment for women to
learn more about themselves, to move through personal
barriers and to make positive changes that encourage
successful, productive,
fulfilling lives.
We are
committed to delivering the purpose of the Family of Women
and living our lives
at a higher level. We do this
by
participating in higher purpose projects throughout
the
year. Some of these projects we do with the help
of the
Men's Division and
Men's Weekend graduate organizations.
Some
projects that we have created are the ELF (Every-body Loves
Families) which contributes to various organizations such as
the Casa Myrna Vasquez and Thunder Road (shelters for battered women
and their children), and Cradles to Crayons (an organization
that helps homeless children in Massachusetts).

Mission Statement and Purpose
Our purpose is to leave a
legacy of successful relationships for all women to follow. We
believe that successful relationships between men and women
are the key to solving the problems of society. We do this by
empowering women to reclaim their responsibility for their
relationships. We
serve women, men, families and
communities.
History of the Family of
Women
The
Family of Women was organized in
1981 as a non profit
organization that participated in community service and
women in leadership. In 2000 we became
a not for
profit 501(c) organization.
Our purpose is to provide a place where
women are empowered to
assume their responsibility as leaders in their families
and
communities.
