Our Legacy and Mission
Founded in 1936, the Navy Wives Clubs of America, Inc. (NWCA) stands as the sole national non-profit organization for enlisted spouses of the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Our mission is to foster mutual friendship and support among sea service families across the United States. With a rich history of advocacy and community service, NWCA unites members through charitable activities, educational scholarships, and a shared commitment to improving the lives of military families. Our membership is open to enlisted spouses, both active and retired, and we welcome Members At Large who may not be near a local club. Governed by a National Board of Officers, we gather annually at our National Convention to celebrate achievements, discuss new initiatives, and strengthen our community bonds.
