Welcome to the Palm Springs (CA) Branch of AAUW!

Welcome to the 2022-2023 season of Palm Springs AAUW!

Get to know us! We have a lot of fun between our monthly luncheons and interest groups, while we promote educational achievement for women and girls. We send 7th-grade girls to a STEM camp every year in our grand tradition known as Tech Trek. Best of all, we get to hear about what they learned when they return from camp! Monthly luncheons occur on the second Saturday of the month, beginning at 11:30 am. Don’t miss our amazing speakers. If you have any questions about AAUW Palm Springs, please email us at aauwpalmspringsbranch@gmail.com. Please visit the California website at https://www.aauw-ca.org.

Members had a lively discussion regarding women in leadership through the ages.

Successful fundraiser for Tech Trek at Pink in the Rink Hockey Rink.

What a great night for our Tech Trek girls and our Tech Trek alumna girls. Four of our TTAG girls and their families were able to attend the Pink in the Rink Firebird game on February 4th! They had a wonderful time. Many of our members were there as well.

Join us! Here’s what’s happening every month this season!

Come ZOOM with us! Our groups such as Book Club, Reel Revelers, and Great Decisions are still meeting too!
