We are a wonderful organization and sisters of NCNW keep up the good works and strive to help others.

Our founder not only left us with a thirst for knowledge but a willingness to help others.

 

The Mission


The mission of the National Council of Negro Women is to advance opportunities and the quality of life for African American women, their families and communities. The Message Consistent with our founder's vision, NCNW serves as a national "organization of organizations" to extend the collective power and leadership of African American women.

The Creed


People Plus Programs: Dr. Bethune envisioned NCNW as a grassroots, "forceful, inclusive group with roots solidly in the ground…to sustain our growth, broaden our vision and to extend our service." The NCNW of 2004 is a coalition of nearly 40 national organizations, 252 local sections and thousands of concerned individuals, reaching out to the millions of black women throughout the United States, NCNW's programs are based on the concepts of commitment, unity, self reliance, and community empowerment. The power of African American women has been harnessed to create programs providing food for the hungry, educational opportunities, job training, HIV/STD awareness programs and child care for disadvantaged and working mothers.


The Pledge


It is out pledge to make a lasting contribution to all that is finest and best in America, to cherish and enrich her heritage of freedom and progress by working for the integration of all her people regardless of race, creed or national origin, into her spiritual, social, cultural, civic and economic life, and thus aid her to achieve the glorious destiny of true and unfettered destiny.
