Welcome to the Camarillo Branch of the American
Association of University Women. We
are a diverse group of educated women and men of all ages and backgrounds.

education for all women and girls.
Established in 1881, AAUW recognizes that individual development and freedom must be expressed with an appreciation for and an understanding of the larger community. Therefore, the Camarillo Branch, chartered on May 14, 1964, has continually set its goals toward supporting and conducting challenging, educationally based activities involving the community at large.
