Living the Volunteer Spirit

Make a difference through service, charity work, and social engagement

Established in 1923, the Coral Gables Woman’s Club is a dynamic philanthropic and social organization with a long and proud history of volunteerism and service to South Florida and beyond. We provide a welcoming environment for women of all ages and backgrounds to connect, collaborate, and lead purposeful lives.

Through our fundraising efforts and the rental of our clubhouse’s historic ballrooms, we operate a free dental clinic for children in need and support other programs and charitable organizations that promote education, health, civic welfare, the environment, and the arts and sciences.

We’re part of the world’s largest and oldest women’s volunteer organizations, the national General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), as well as the GFWC Florida. Our club belongs to the GFWC’s Southern Region which, in addition to Florida, includes Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Puerto Rico.

As one of 2,600 GFWCs around the globe, our members have the opportunity to work with women on an international, state and local level to advance a wide range of charitable and educational initiatives and activities—while forging new friendships and honing their leadership skills. Our common bond is a commitment to improving the lives of others through volunteer service. Learn about the Community Service Programs we support as part of the General Federation of Woman’s Clubs.
