SSWF Meetings are on Tuesdays in room B206 after school.

Club president Zoe Barninger told Cardinal Nation what SSWF is all about and why you should join.

“SSWF is simply a group of people that want to do better and be better,” Zoe says. “I have a high amount of respect for each and every person within this club. SSWF is a club that primarily focuses on helping women and families affected by domestic violence, but also helps the community in other ways.”

If you are interested in joining SSWF, they meet every Tuesday in room B-206 right after school. To join the SSWF email list, fill out the email interest form here.
