Our Purpose

The purpose of the International Women’s Club, Inc. (IWC) is to provide support and information about life in the United States for newcomers while also providing multicultural enrichment for American members.

Who We Are - A Vibrant Community

Our members are women who have moved from another country to the Brandywine Valley and surrounding locales; women whose work, studies, or interests take them abroad, as well as women from the USA who want to enjoy and share in the exchange of multicultural experiences. We are single and married women, with or without children. We are stay-at-home moms, working and retired women who are connected by a curiosity about each other’s cultures, traditions, and food.
