AAUW Eugene-Lane supports equity for women and girls in education and employment.
We do that through activities like:
- Promoting equity and empowerment by sponsoring a Kidsports basketball team for middle school girls.
- Helping Lane Community College women graduates pursue their education at the University of Oregon through the Kappy Eaton Scholarship.
- Financially supporting SPICE Camp scholarships at the University of Oregon, where young women engage in science through hands-on learning.
- Honoring excellence through the annual UO Senior Woman’s Award, which recognizes accomplishments and aspirations aligned with 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.
