Our Mission

—Our Mission

Lead. Empower. Advocate.

The mission of the National Council of Negro Women is to lead, empower, and advocate for women of African descent, their families and communities.

NCNW is an "organization of organizations" comprised of 330 campus and community-based sections and 32 national women's organizations that enlightens, inspires and connects more than 2,000,000 women and men.

Founded in 1935 by Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, NCNW's programs are grounded on a foundation of critical concerns known as "Four for the Future." Our section brings that mission home to Eastern Howard County, Maryland.
