The American Women’s Club of The Hague (AWC The Hague) is a nonprofit, English-speaking social club that warmly welcomes women of all nationalities.

ABOUT US
AWC The Hague was formed in 1930 by a group of American women who had been meeting socially when they decided to organize in a more formal way. The 55 original charter members held monthly meetings, teas and programs, including an annual Thanksgiving dinner at the Hotel Des Indes. As a guest at the first dinner, Judge Frank Billings Kellogg learned that that he had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of the Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact of 1928.
AWC The Hague is one of the founding members of the Federation of American Women’s Clubs Overseas (FAWCO). Today, FAWCO is a global NGO and holds special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council. All AWC The Hague members also benefit from membership to FAWCO.
