Thank you for exploring our website!
It is an honor for me to serve as the 51st president of NCJWSTL. I follow in the footsteps of women who have formed and guided this section into one of the most admired and strongest sections in the United States. This has occurred because of the many programs and projects that we have created and the outstanding volunteers and staff who are committed to improving the lives of women, children, and families and to safeguarding individual rights and freedoms.
Over the last 125 years, NCJWSTL has made a difference through projects like: The St. Louis Scholarship Committee (1920), providing interest-free loans for post high school education; Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), founded in 1980 to advocate for children under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Courts; and Healing Hearts Bank (2011), a micro-lending program to help underserved women and women in domestic violence situations gain economic independence. Check our History section to learn more.
We exist because there is a lack of equity for women, children and families and we address this in our community. Our opportunities for engagement are many and you can investigate them all through this website. You may be interested in our:
- Kids Community Closet
- The Resale Shop and Couturier Sale
- Jean Stein Bloch Wife Widow Woman Program
- Project Renewal
- Healing Hearts Bank
- Back to School! Store (which outfits over 2,000 children yearly as they go back to school)
- Advocacy initiatives in human trafficking, voting, long-range contraception, women’s rights and more
Over 5,000 members, volunteers, and supporters enable us to accomplish our goals. We would be honored if you would consider joining us!
Gail Eisenkramer, President
