GFWC Junior Leadership Certificate Program
If your club intends to participate in the GFWC Junior Leadership Certificate Program, please submit the form to the Director of Junior Clubs, Shannon Bailey by April 1, 2026. A comprehensive list of both GFWC and external training material to be utilized for the completion of this program is available in the Digital Library under "J". One of the greatest takeaways a clubwoman can get from GFWC is leadership experience. By developing a club-level leadership program, members can take on more roles in their club, their career, and in the community and be more comfortable running for district and state positions.
