Foundation for Women Warriors is a 104-year-old nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring and empowering the women veteran community. We’ll also celebrate GFWC’s birthday and recognize GFWC Federation Day\, which is April 24.  \nAbout Foundation for Women Warriors (FWW) \nOften overshadowed by their male counterparts\, our programs honor\, empower and support the women who answered our nation’s call to serve. FWW addresses the top four needs that women veterans have self-identified as crucial to the success of their transition: education\, employment\, housing\, and childcare. Their mission is: A world in which the service of every woman veteran is honored\, and she can achieve the quality of life she fought for. \nAt Foundation for Women Warriors\, we are on a mission to serve women veterans and their children so that their next mission is clear and continues to impact the world. The organization is designed to enhance the personal and economic wellbeing of women veterans and address the growing needs of the increasing population of military women transitioning to civilian life. \nAbout Our Speaker\, Keshia Javis-Jones \nKeshia is currently the Director of Community Partnerships at Foundation for Women Warriors\, leading all FFWW community partnerships and professional development education.

Condon\, GFWC International President: On April 24\, 1890\, the GFWC constitution was ratified and 63 clubs officially formed the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. With nearly 3\,000 clubs and 100\,000 members worldwide\, we surely have come a long way since that day 126 years ago. Every year\, Federation Day gives us the opportunity to reflect on where we have been as an organization\, and look forward to what we will accomplish in the future. \n“It occurred to them that union is strength. Then they began to reach out toward each other.” This quote from GFWC clubwoman and author Julia Ward Howe in 1889 is still relevant today. Just like our foresisters in 1890\, we continue to find strength in federation. GFWC unites us all to one common mission of improving the lives of others through volunteer service. Let’s unite our voices and celebrate this amazing Sisterhood of Service on April 24\, Federation Day\, and continue the celebration throughout Volunteers in Action Week\, April 24-30.
