Our History
Founded in 1922 by a dynamic group of community women and joining the General Federation of Women’s Clubs that same year, The Woman’s Club of Laguna Beach has been at the heart of philanthropy and community development.
We've passionately contributed to Laguna Beach:
1940 - Refurbished the Youth Center
1959 - Funded construction of Mission Hospital
1962 - Spearheaded the creation of Bluebird Park
1969 - Created a Women’s Resource Center
1990 - Established Pennies for Art Scholarships
Having just passed our centennial, we are not just a club; we are a thriving community of women, united by a century-long commitment to inclusiveness, collaboration, and civic engagement, shaping the past, present, and future of Laguna Beach.
