About Us
The AIWC of Genoa is an English speaking organization open to women of all nationalities.
Our Story
The American Women’s Club of Genoa was founded on February 22, 1957, largely through the efforts of its first president, Mildred Nichol.
In 1975, it became an associate member of FAWCO (the Federation of American Women’s Clubs Overseas) and in 1979 changed its name to the American International Women’s Club of Genoa (AIWC Genoa).
AIWC Genoa is a non-profit, non-denominational and apolitical organization. We welcome English-speaking women from all over the world and provide a forum for the vital exchange of information and ideas so important to newcomers to Genoa.
Our Mission
The Club aims to preserve and promote America’s image, language and traditions in Genoa and to explore and foster appreciation of the cultural riches which Italy offers.
What we do
AIWC Genoa organizes social gatherings, cultural visits and other events for members. We also support local charities especially those helping women and children and one FAWCO grant.
