To truly change the lives of women and girls globally now and for generations to come, we must invest in youth development and mentor young leaders for gender equality.  Zonta International believes young people are critical to achieving gender equality and ending violence against women and girls around the world.

Through the Z and Golden Z Club program, Zonta members work to bring Zonta International’s mission to students around the world and to stimulate new and meaningful student-led service and advocacy projects.

Z clubs are formed on secondary school campuses or in communities, and Golden Z clubs are formed on college and university campuses. These student clubs are designed to provide opportunities for young adults to develop communication and leadership skills, explore career alternatives, and increase their international awareness and understanding through service.
