Job's Daughters International
is an organization of young women with members in the United States, Canada, Australia, the Philippines and Brazil.
We have fun together at activities such as swimming parties, dances, family picnics, slumber parties, miniature golf, marching
in parades and so much more. In Job's Daughters you will make new friends that will last a lifetime. Job's Daughters perform service
projects to help their community and the less fortunate. We actively support the Hearing Impaired Kids Endowment
(HIKE) Fund, which purchases hearing assistive devices for hearing impaired children. Job's Daughters can qualify for various scholarships
that are offered on a state and national level. We also gain valuable leadership experience, serve as part of a team,
and learn democratic principles as they run their own meetings, decide our own activities, and plan our own events.
In short, Job's Daughters
International offers the qualities that today's young women want and need from organizations that earn their commitment:
fun, friendship, helping others and the chance to learn organizational and leadership skills.
We might also include some information about our involvement in our community, our close friends or other important
subjects that our family is committed to.

Job's Daughters Tradition
Job's Daughters has a rich heritage and tradition. The group was founded in 1920 to provide an opportunity for
young women to work together, to learn about themselves and to help others. Job's Daughters is open to girls ages 10 to
20 who have a Masonic Heritage. We do not follow any specific religion, but do require that our members have a belief in God.
For over 75 years, Job's Daughters has been actively
promoting friendship and service. The organization was founded by Mrs. Ethel T. Wead Mick in Omaha, Nebraska. The group takes
its name from the Book of Job, and in particular to a reference in the 42nd Chapter that says, "And in all the land were
no women found so fair as the Daughters of Job." Meetings
follow a long tradition of order. The Officers wear traditional Grecian robes, symbols of democracy and equality, provided
by the Bethel. Other members wear dresses to meetings. Meetings are held twice a month. Programs are planned and conducted
by the members with the help of adult volunteers. To become
a Job's Daughter does not involve an embarrassing ritual or test of courage. Initiations are solemn, meaningful ceremonies
presented by Bethel Officers. Parents are welcome at initiations and all of the meetings. To be a member of Job's Daughters is to be part of a group that promotes friendship among young women
and confidence in themselves. As a member you will learn skills that will help you throughout your life. You will become part
of an organization that serves the community. Most importantly, you will have fun.
