The Women's Club of Coconut Creek works along side Coconut Creek High School with their student mentoring program. Women will meet with one or more students each week and mentor them by sharing their life experience, tutoring, and more. This incredibly impactful program is aimed at helping our local student succeed in both their personal and scholarly lives. 

This program is open to the community, men and women alike, not just Women's Club members. 

 If you are interested in learning more about the mentor program please contact:

The Women’s Club of Coconut Creek works with the City of Coconut Creek on a variety of citywide projects and events such as Fall Harvest and Butterfly Festival. The city frequently involves the Women’s Club and its members for various volunteer opportunities, input for project ideas, and more. We sponsor the Police Explorers, local youth sports teams, and have a started a fund for teachers. Finally, we spearhead a variety of community outreach efforts such as supporting other local nonprofits.

One community outreach activity began at Sonata Coconut Creek Senior Living. On the first wednesday of every month, club members and their friends and family come together to have a game night at the senior living center. The residents cherish the event and the game night volunteers have a wonderful time working along side the residents. The most popular game of choice is Bingo. 

The women's club has also been touring local nonprofits within the city and finding new ways to support our local charities. They have had donation drives for S.O.S. Children's Villages, attended local walks and fundraisers, and offer volunteers as needed.
