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.
