Northern District: The Northern District of GFWC VA was organized in 1924. Currently we have one county Federation, 28 General Clubs, and 5 Junior Clubs with a combined membership of 1,522..

General and Junior Clubs have no age specifications. However, Junior clubs' members are generally described as young women. The Northern District serves as a communication link; disseminating information and promoting Federation policies and projects between the GFWC, the GFWC VA, and our District clubs. The local ties with our State and International organizations keep us strongly aware of the opportunities for community service, provide leadership opportunities for our members, and promote a sense of fellowship that leads to life- long friendships.

GFWC Virginia Under the sponsorship of the Lynchburg Woman's Club led by Alice Kyle, the leaders of ten women's organizations created the Virginia Federation of Wornen's Clubs (VFWC) in 1907. Our name was changed to GFWC Virginia in 2002. GFWC VA is divided into 8 districts, has a total of 30 General Clubs and 5 Junior Clubs with a combined membership of 1,557.

GFWC The General Federation of Women's clubs is the oldest and largest volunteer women's organization in the world with millions of members worldwide in 40 countries. The Federation is much like a pyramid with our local clubs as the foundation, and the apex being the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC). In 1927 Junior Clubs for Women were introduced into Federation.
