FemPact Women's Society Information Form
Mission Statement and Purpose: The FemPact Women's Society strives to serve our community and educate our club members while advocating for women’s rights through service at various women's shelters, educational nonprofits, and fundraisers that aid women. We will also provide interactive opportunities to educate our members about Women’s rights by visiting crucial historical sites during the Women's Suffrage Movement. During club rotation meetings, we will provide information on service opportunities and interactive activities with people joining our meetings while discussing ideas and current events within Women's rights. Along with club activities, we will also provide members with short history slides through a PowerPoint with refreshments. Outside of clubs, we will do multiple group service projects at different Women and community centers.
Our club also wishes to form a social media page for improved community engagement, specifically Instagram.
