This branch serves Bakersfield, Wasco, and Shafter in the state of California. We have much to offer to our members, including activities, events, interest groups, and educational opportunities.

The American Association of University Women is a national organization that promotes education and equity for all women and girls. Our commitment to these issues is reflected by the AAUW public policy program.

Nationally, AAUW is comprised of:

• The national AAUW association, a 150,000-member organization with more than 1,500 branches nationwide that lobbies and advocates for education and equity. AAUW is a member of the International Federation of University Women. Thus, an AAUW membership automatically entitles you to an IFUW membership;

• The AAUW Educational Foundation, which funds pioneering research on girls and education, community action projects, and fellowships for grants for outstanding women around the globe, and the AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund, which provides funds and a support system for women seeking judicial redress for sex discrimination in higher education.
