For over a century, the National Council of Jewish Women has been at the forefront of social change - championing the needs of women, children and families - while courageously taking a progressive stance on such issues as child welfare, womens rights and reproductive freedom.
NCJW embraces people of diverse backgrounds and temperaments. Ours is a place of both thinkers and doers. We believe that progressive ideals put into action can make the world a better place; that our passion, intelligence and efforts will make this a reality; and NCJW is the most effective and satisfying place to turn beliefs into meaningful action. NCJWs skilled volunteers have a proven ability to further the causes of social justice for all people.
NCJW is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization with an inclusive membership of all genders, races and creeds.
We work to:
- advance the well-being and status of women, children and families
- enhance the quality of Jewish life
- protect and advance individual and civil rights
- support a secure Israel and the well-being of all its people
