About Us

Beach Cities is an active branch of the National American Association of University Women (AAUW) since 1953. We provide an opportunity to learn, socialize and participate in activities positively affecting the lives of women and girls in our community.  Our programs and events are in support of the mission of AAUW – To advance gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy.

We provide opportunities for member involvement in a variety of areas:

  • Branch programs & Events
  • Leadership development
  • Social & professional networking

Our monthly Program Meetings include guest speakers and interesting, educational programs on timely topics.  Meetings are in-person or virtual.  We offer branch interest groups, special events and opportunities to socialize.  Leadership positions promote branch efforts to further AAUW’s mission.

Tech Trek is a week-long academic camp featuring hands-on activities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Since Tech Trek began in 1998, the Beach Cities branch has sponsored over 200 girls.  There are many ways that you can be a part of expanding the opportunities for girls in the future.
