More than a club.
A place to belong.
Founded in 2001 with 89 members, the University Park Women’s Club has grown into a vibrant, all-volunteer organization of more than 500 women. It welcomes members through friendship, inclusion, shared interests, social gatherings, educational programs, and service to the surrounding community.
For women who are new to University Park, UPWC offers a wonderful way to meet neighbors and feel at home. Longtime residents continue to find fresh opportunities to learn, laugh, contribute, and enjoy the company of friends.
There is something
for everybody.
Members gather regularly around common interests—and when a new idea sparks enthusiasm, members are encouraged to create a new group together.
