Every parent desires the best for their daughter – to learn the skills necessary to succeed in life.
What is the hope for the girls in your life? Job’s Daughters International was founded over 100 years ago for the purpose of giving girls a place to grow, lead, and make a difference in their communities. Our girls, ages 10-20 years of age, learn how to be a part of a team, lead at many levels, plan activities, events, and service projects, and effective public speaking skills. Our organization is part sorority, part professional training ground, and lots of fun!
Our values of leadership, respect for elders, good citizenship, service, and sisterhood have stood the test of time and continue to benefit girls today. We offer the qualities that today’s girls want and need from organizations that earn their commitment: fun, friendship, helping others and the chance to learn critical life skills.
Helping girls grow
Job’s Daughters gain valuable leadership experience, serve as part of a team, and learn democratic principles as they run their own meetings using parliamentary procedure, decide on activities, and plan community service and fundraising events. They learn administrative and organizational skills, as well as customer service skills.
The girls also have fun together at social activities such as swimming parties, dances, family picnics, slumber parties, miniature golf, marching in parades and so much more.
We teach the importance of perseverance and help girls develop levels of self-esteem and self-confidence.
