Advocating for women, children, and families for over 100 years in San Antonio.

The National Council of Jewish Women is a volunteer organization that has been at the forefront of social change for over a century— championing the needs of women, children, and families — while courageously taking a progressive stance on such issues as child welfare, women’s rights, and reproductive freedom. The local San Antonio section works throughout the year on programs vital to furthering our political, social, and fundraising requirements. We are always looking for equality-minded women who would like to get involved in these efforts. Please join us.
