Our Mission:

Zonta International, is a worldwide service organization of 1,200 clubs with 33,000 members in 68 countries and geographic areas.
The Zonta Club of the Conejo Valley Area, established in 1972, annually distributes nearly $8,000 in scholarships for women, supports an elementary school Dual Literacy Program, local emergency assistance programs, a Meals-on-Wheels Angels Program for home-bound seniors, Hospice, supports Westminster Free Clinic and its teen training program (an innovative model of youth mentoring by professional adults in health care), and a transitional home for battered families with Interface Family Services.
Because so many women and girls are denied fundamental freedoms, Zonta International and its 1,200 clubs, work to make the world a safer, healthier, and equitable place through education, service, and advocacy programs.
