American Association of University Women: Wyandotte-Downriver Foundation, Inc.

The Wyandotte-Downriver Branch was established in 1932 and is comprised of members from all 19 ‘Downriver’ communities, including Allen Park, Brownstown, Ecorse, Flat Rock, Gibraltar, Grosse Ile, Huron, Lincoln Park, Melvindale, River Rouge, Riverview, Rockwood, Romulus, Southgate, Taylor, Trenton, Woodhaven and Wyandotte.

They strive to encourage college and university women to participate in the educational, civil and social concerns of our communities. They encourage the growth of AAUW and participate in local, state and national networking communities. Branch members work together to promote equity for all women and girls, education and self-development over the lifespan, and positive societal change at local, state and national levels. The Wyandotte-Downriver Branch members particularly work to raise funds for local scholarships, salary negotiation training, public policy efforts and more.
