Welcome to AAUW Silicon Valley, CA

We welcome you to the AAUW Silicon Valley website. AAUW has been in this area for close to 100 years. Our branch began in 2023 with the merger of  the Palo Alto Branch (est. 1930) and the Los Altos-Mountain View branch (est. 1953). We look forward to continuing the projects and activities of both branches and creating new projects/activities that will work for equity for women in the 21st century in support of AAUW’s mission of  Advancing gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy.
