AAUW has created an online resource called "Program in a Box" to help members consider and choose program activities for their branches. Each Program in a Box outlines an activity that could be chosen for your branch, with the "what, why, and how" to implement that program. Each Program in a Box has hyperlinks to downloadable resources that provide wider programming options.

New Programs in a Box will be added on an ongoing basis, with the focus on posting new and time-sensitive programs first. Programs included will reflect a wide range of AAUW activities: education, advocacy, communications, membership, fundraising, LAF, etc. An effort will be made to prioritize posting of programming ideas that help us keep our Value Promise:

By joining AAUW, you belong to a community that breaks through
educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance.

Please check regularly for new postings. Recommendations for additional 'Programs in a Box' may be emailed to: programinabox@aauw.org.
