![]() | A Little bit about Job's Daughters Do you like meeting new friends? Do you like doing fun things? Do you like helping others? Job's Daughters is a great place to do all that and more! |
Job's Daughters is an organization for young women just like you. We can help you learn important skills for life, such as leadership, organization, teamwork and self-reliance. We work to help our communities.
We honor a rich tradition and heritage that has been a part of Job's Daughters since 1920. But most importantly, we want you to have fun doing the things you like to do.
Throughout the year, Job's Daughters plan and share a lot of fun activities. Camping, arts and crafts, photography, and creative writing are just a few of the many different activities we enjoy. Also, girls participate in sports including soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball, swimming and bowling, and we like to sing and dance, too! We also have get-togethers, such as dances, with the two other youth groups, Rainbow for girls and DeMolay for young men. Many of our local groups have competitions with awards and recognition for outstanding achievement as well as state level activities where members all across the state can get together for fun and sisterhood.
You and your new friends in Job's Daughters can play an important role in giving back to the community, such as visiting hospitals and homes for the elderly to offer friendship to people who might be lonely and sad. We have food drives, fundraisers, and other activities to provide for the less fortunate.
Our international charity, the Hearing Impaired Kid's Endowment (The HIKE Fund), provides hearing assistive devices for children in need. Our popular "hikes for HIKE," provide a special charitable service to our community. Some of the comments from some of the parents of recipients are:
One Mother said through tears; "My son, for the first time in his life, will be able to hear my voice".
Another Mother relates that after her daughter was fitted with a new device to see if it would help, "We walked out the door at the center and she looked up at me and said, 'Listen Mommy, the birds sing' ".
The parents of a two year-old said that in just a short time their son stated he could hear the telephone ring, and the baby crying.
A Grandmother said her young granddaughter can now hear the sounds that we take for granted.
Our work with hearing-impaired children has led many chapters to learn sign language. We are proud to be "kids helping kids!"
