National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Inc

HEALTH
The World Health Organization has defined health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Our Clubs, sharing their expertise and knowledge, design and implement projects addressing health issues, and advocating and supporting community health initiatives.

EDUCATION
Education is the foundation for improving one's standard of living, increasing cultural awareness, learning fundamental skills for living, and acquiring problem solving skills. Our clubs implement an array of activities including financial aid workshops, adopting schools, college tours, test-taking strategies, and mentoring. The scholarship program is the foundation of the education focus on the local, district, and National levels.

EMPLOYMENT
The ability to earn wages for work is a basic human right. Too often women are not afforded the opportunity to earn a decent wage in non-traditional jobs. This disparity in wages and job opportunities is evident throughout the African-American community for women and men. Our programs include providing information on employment, careers, and skill building.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Clubs direct their programming efforts on developing and sustaining black and women owned business in our communities through The Power of Our Dollar$ project and the National Black Business Directory. Projects address the difficulty in accessing business capital, accumulating personal assets, real property holdings, estate planning, and retirement strategies.
