Leadership
Exciting opportunities await young girls today. As a member of Job's Daughters, you can learn skills that will help you meet life's challenges.
Job's Daughters is a self-governing group. Each Bethel elects an Honored Queen and the Officers to lead them for a six-month term. The Queen and Officers help to run the group and take care of business such as keeping track of finances, planning events and service projects all with the guidance of adult volunteers.
The experience you get as a member of Job's Daughters will help you now and in the future. Job's Daughters learn how to work together to achieve their goals, how to raise money and spend it wisely, how to speak to an audience, the fundamentals of parliamentary procedure and how important community service is.
Education is very important in Job's Daughters. None of our activities should interfere with schoolwork or home responsibilities. Each year the organization awards scholarships at the international and regional level to help deserving girls achieve their educational goals.

All of our adult leaders must undergo a thorough background check and training to order to work with the girls. The safety of our members is our top priority.
Tradition
Job's Daughters has a rich heritage and tradition. The group was founded in 1920 to provide an opportunity for young women to work together, to learn about themselves and to help others. Job's Daughters is open to girls ages 10 to 20. We do not follow any specific religion, but do require that our members have a belief in God.
For over 90 years, Job's Daughters has been actively promoting friendship and service. The organization was founded by Mrs. Ethel T. Wead Mick in Omaha, Nebraska. We take our name from the Book of Job, in particular to a reference in the 42nd Chapter that says, "And in all the land were no women found so fair as the Daughters of Job."
Meetings follow a long tradition of order. The Officers wear traditional Grecian robes, symbols of democracy and equality. Other members wear dresses to meetings. Meetings are held twice a month and are conducted by the members with the help of adult volunteers.

Parents are welcome at initiations, events and all of the meetings.
