District Clubs
District 3 Clubs
The individual zonta club is the basic organizational unit of Zonta International. Clubs exist
to promote the objectives of Zonta International, and to initiate, adopt and implement policies
and procedures to attain theses ends in their own communities and throughout the world.
Each club establishes its own level of
participatioin in community service
projects and local programs. The Zonta
Clubs in District 3 support a large variety
of projects. Many clubs offer local
college scholarships for women in junior
colleges, four year colleges and graduate
level education. The District is heavily
involved in local projects to end domestic
violence, raise funds for cancer research
and participate in programs to empower
local women. Because the United Nations is headquartered in District 3, our clubs are closely
aligned with United Nations programs.
Local Zonta clubs promote women’s leadership through
the “Young Women in Public Affairs” Awards program.
The program is designed to encourage young women
to enter public affairs and policy-making fields. Z Clubs
for high school students and Golden Z Clubs for college
and university students encourage leadership skills
development, career exploration, and service. Local
clubs also contribute funds to the Zonta International
Strategies to Eradicate Violence Against Women and
Children; to the Jane M. Klausman Women in
Business Scholarships for women in college level
business fields; and the Amelia Earhart Fellowships
which have provided over $10 million, to help more than
1144 talented young women representing 73 countries
pursue graduate level study in aerospace related sciences
and engineering. In addition, local clubs contribute funds
to the Zonta International Service Projects.
Zonta members are invited to attend an International Convention every two years in
attractive locations around the world. Past Conventions have been held in Sydney,
Australia; Helsinki, Finland; Denver, Colorado; Hong Kong; and Paris, France. The 2004
