Navy Wives Clubs of America

A few words from the National President, Melissa Worthey

Melissa Worthey

Thank you for stopping by to check out Navy Wives Clubs of America, Inc (NWCA). Please take a few moments and explore our site to learn more about who we are, what we do, and where we are located.

NWCA is the only federation of sea service spouses and our purpose is both educational and charitable. We are here to help one another through friendship, assistance and welfare for the families, bases and communities in which we live. If you are the spouse of an active duty, retired, or deceased United States Navy, Marine Corps or Coast Guard personnel, we are here for you. We are one team united in thriving as military spouses and civilians who support our aims and ideals of education and charity.

NWCA was incorporated on June 3, 1936 in Long Beach, California by a group of military spouses who had a common vision of support, friendship and guidance for helping military spouses adjust to this new way of life. In October of 1984 the United States Congress granted NWCA a Federal Charter. We are here for the long haul and it means you never have to stand alone as a military spouse – we are here to help you get through the separation of deployments, find new friends as your transfer across the globe, and assist you in finding necessary resources that are available to you when you need help.

Take a moment and click National Chapters on the drop down menu under the About NWCA tab to find a club near you or drop us a line on our Contact Information form. Check us out on Facebook – click the link and it will take you to our national fan page where you will find great information and support.

Are you looking for something to do? Our local clubs have projects going in both their military and civilian communities. Some of our clubs have thrift shops; others have food lockers to help our military families get through the lean moments; and so much more. Are you going back to school or have a child heading off to college? I invite you to check out our scholarship section. We have dozens of scholarships available for children, spouses and members.

Thanks stopping by today. In the coming weeks, I will be highlighting much of what is going on around NWCA; so check out our website again soon.

In your service,

Melissa
