community service programs
Beginning September 2020
GFWC launched it five new Community Service Programs to build upon the difference that the Federation has made throughout the United States - and across the globe. The Community Service Programs and Special Programs have been re-structured to help clubs light a path for the future and better address the current and upcoming needs of its communities.

ARTS AND CULTURE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM
This program encourages members to promote and support art and cultural programs in their clubs and communities, and to expand understanding on every level, from local and regional to national and international. Our goal is to create projects that create crafts, dance, drama, food, music, and other manifestations of art and culture that develop skills, awareness, and appreciation. It is designed to inspire clubwomen and ignite within them a desire to make the world a more beautiful, thoughtful, and caring place.

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM
This program reminds GFWC members that each of us is part of a larger society and responsible for undertaking actions that will create a better quality of life and foster a sense of community - locally, regionally, nationally and globally. This program highlights and encourages citizenship, crime detection, safety, and disaster preparedness; the needy, hungry, and homeless; and our military personnel and veterans.
EDUCATION AND LIBRARIES COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM
We aim to help others, while we continue to learn. Projects in the Education and Libraries program are designed to foster schools, as well as other educational institutions and opportunities. The programs promote libraries, literacy, and the love of a good book. Through these efforts, we encourage the growth of individuals and communities at home and around the world.

ENVIRONMENT COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM
This program encourages us to become stewards of the earth by working to preserve the world's resources, protect wildlife and domesticated animals, live sustainably and beautify our communities and enjoy nature. Environmental degradation is cumulative and many scientists warn that we are at a tipping point. There is no time like the present to act.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM
The human mind, body, and spirit comprise our health and wellness. To improve our well being, we must address three key components: nutrition, disease prevention, and physical and emotional care. This program aims to explore the various opportunities for awareness and advancement of each of these vital areas.
