AAUW Eugene-Lane supports equity for women and girls in education and employment. We do that through activities like:
- sponsoring a middle school girls’ basketball team through KidsSports,
- helping to fund a scholarship so that a Lane Community College woman graduate can continue her education at UO (the Kappy Eaton Scholarship through the LCC Foundation),
- helping to fund a SPICE Camp scholarship so that a young woman can engage in science through hands-on experimentation,
- Presenting an annual UO Senior Woman’s Award that recognizes that woman’s accomplishments and plans as they relate to AAUW’s mission and values.
AAUW Eugene-Lane supports civics education and engagement. We do that through activities like supporting mock trial teams at Willamette and Creswell High Schools.
AAUW Eugene-Lane supports its members.
- We do that at our monthly branch meetings and at branch activities like our annual picnic and holiday brunch, and at periodic small group lunches and dinners.
- We send personal cards and notes when a branch member experiences a health challenge, bereavement, or other significant life event.

Branch meeting featuring Molly Hylton, Civics Learning Project
Molly Hylton (she/her) is the Senior Program Manager of Outreach and Engagement, and Regional Program Manager for the Southern Willamette Valley for the Civics Learning Project (CLP), formerly Classroom Law Project. Molly helps stakeholders connect with curriculum offerings, establishes partnerships around the state, and is deliberating in keeping CLP’s mission at the forefront of outreach and engagement.
Prior to joining CLP, Molly spent most of her career as a high school Language Arts teacher in the Portland area. Molly was lucky enough to lead two AVID cohorts, where she observed the obstacles many students face and their shared determination to achieve academic success. Molly believes education is the key to opportunity, and that empowerment through education can lead to social change. She sees her work with Civics Learning Project and its preeminent programs as a powerful way to mentor students to gain confidence and move the dial on civic engagement.
Molly lives in Eugene, Oregon with her husband and two children. Some of Molly’s favorite pastimes include: golf, snow sports, a good book while having a cup of tea, and adventures with family. Molly has a B.A. from the University of Oregon and M.Ed. from Portland State University
Hope to see you there!
