Mission
Zonta International is a leading global organization of professionals empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy.
Vision
Zonta International envisions a world in which women’s rights are recognized as human rights and every woman is able to achieve her full potential. In such a world, women have access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions on an equal basis with men. In such a world, no woman lives in fear of violence.
What We Do
LOCAL ACTION
Collectively the Zonta Club of Niagara Falls has raised over $600,000 to support many programs and projects to help women in our local community.
SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS
We are very proud to provide annual scholarships to women in Niagara.
SERVICE PROJECTS
