Become A Zontarian Today!

One of the world’s most thriving women’s groups that actively helps and stands up for the rights of other women is currently looking for new members for its Airlie Beach contingent.

A fun and empowering community organisation, Zonta has over 31,000 members worldwide, spread over 65 countries.

The driving force behind many social change initiatives for women, this group of spunky ladies do their small part for a big organisation that makes huge differences in the everyday lives of locals here in the Whitsundays.

From supporting girls at secondary college with scholarships and bursaries to working to protect women through Whitsunday Counselling and Support, they raise money and give it directly to important causes.

Meeting on the third Thursday of every month at the VMR in Cannonvale, the Zontarians share lively conversation and a group dinner while planning events and opportunities to help the women in our community.

These include Bunnings BBQ’s, Christmas gift wrapping and annual functions such as annual International Women’s Day breakfast and Derby Day lunch.

More broadly, they also help to bring about change and promote human rights and freedoms both locally and internationally with specific projects such as global initiatives working to close the gender gap in education, saying no to violence against women and providing birthing kits to assist safe birthing in some countries.

If you would like to be part of this powerful and important conversation by joining forces with other women and becoming a member of your local Zonta Club – reach out to them now!
