The Kensington-Rockville Branch of AAUW was formed in May 2002 by the merger of the Kensington (founded 1947) and Rockville (founded 1957) branches.

  • Participate in non-partisan advocacy on issues affecting you and your family.
  • Partake of opportunities for leadership and personal growth in a supportive setting.
  • Discuss timely foreign policy issues through the Great Decisions program.
  • Join efforts to eradicate the scourge of human trafficking right where we live.
  • Read, review, and critique thought-provoking books.
  • Practice French conversation.
