Who We Are

Beckley is the oldest civic organization in the area. It was formed in 1909, was federated with the national General
Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC) in 1914, and is a member of the West Virginia Federation GFWC Women's Club.
It has continued over the years to remain a strong catalyst for community improvement.
Our Purpose
The purpose of our club is to develop the Arts, to improve Home Life,
to promote Conservation and Education, to support Public and International Affairs within the club, and to foster Community
Improvement.
What We Do
Members work in the six GFWC department areas: Arts, Conservation, Education, Home Life, International Affairs,
and Public Affairs. Each of these areas is sub-divided to include a host of subjects that could be of interest for club
members. A few of the civic projects the Woman's Club of Beckley has been involved with include the Raleigh County Library,
Youth Museum, and YMCA..We also work on special state and national projects.
