The Zonta Club of Jacksonville is a service organization comprised of executives and business professionals working together to improve the status of women’s lives locally and world-wide through service and advocacy. It is our shared mission to promote change for women in the areas of education, health, economic status, and human rights. Current projects focus on human trafficking awareness, equal rights legislation, and the eradication of violence against women. Chartered on March 9, 1940, our club has a rich history in Jacksonville.
