Meet the Zonta Club of Kaua'i
&
​The Zonta Club of Kaua'i Foundation!
​

​​The Zonta Club of Kaua'i is a 501(c)(4), and
​was chartered on April 1, 1952.
Like Zonta Club International,
Zonta Club of Kaua'i envisions a world
in which women's rights are recognized as human rights and
every woman is able to achieve her full potential. 
In such a world, we believe, women will have access to all resources,
are represented in decision making positions on an equal basis with men and
that no woman will live in fear of violence.

​We inspire women to be their best by exemplifying values of
​fellowship, integrity, service,
advocacy, friendship and kindness through our work.
​Our mission is: to empower women through service and advocacy.

​Fellowship gatherings occur quarterly and in the past
we have seen a wide variety of activities including
painting, golfing, crafting and of course, food!
Our Fellowship gatherings are a chance for us
to gather socially (or online during 2020 so far!)
and spend some quality time together. 
Zonta Club of Kaua'i also gets together with the
Zonta Club of Hanalei and other clubs on the neighbor islands.
