From a member

“Joining the Zonta Club of Melbourne on Yarra has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life.”

I have built strong friendships with an incredible group of women and had the opportunity to assist with meaningful service projects that directly impact the lives of women and girls. I love being part of a global movement that stands for gender equality and women’s rights.
