About Us

A Worldwide Circle

The St. Petersburg Junior Woman’s Club is affiliated with the General Federation of Women’s Clubs -- the largest and oldest non-denominational, non-partisan service organization of volunteer women in the world. Over 75% of our nation’s public libraries were founded by GFWC clubs!

We are also a member of the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs. Being part of a worldwide circle of service, with over 6,500 clubs in the United States alone, and over a million members worldwide in 20 countries, gives us the tools to better help people here in our own community. There are opportunities to serve on the district, state and national level, providing unlimited chances for leadership development.

The Woman’s Club was organized in 1913, and the Junior Woman’s Club was organized in 1932. We have had a most distinguished history, winning many awards at the state level, including an Emmy for the most outstanding Junior Club in Florida. In 1998, our Club President received the prestigious Nancy Crawford Leadership Award, given to just one Junior each year in all of Florida.
