The International Order of Job's Daughters is a premier organization organization for young women from ages 10 to 20, who are *related to a Master Mason. Members learn important skills that benefit them now, as well as in the future, such as leadership, organization, teamwork and self reliance. The lessons of Job's Daughters are taught around the principle framework of respect for parents and home, loyalty to flag and country, and reverence for God.

Education is an important aspect of everyone's life. Job's Daughters recognizes this and should in no way interfere with school work or home responsibilities. Each year the organization helps girls achieve their educational goals by awarding scholarships. Scholarships are awarded at the International level, as well as by many regional jurisdictions and many other Masonic organizations.

Job's Daughters truly is "International." The Order currently has over 20,000 members in Canada, Australia, the Philippines, Brazil and the United States. Girls have many opportunities to travel and meet other Job's Daughters from their area or region, as well as from around the country and world.

For over 85 years, Job's Daughters has been actively promoting friendship and service. Job's Daughters was founded in 1920 in Omaha, Nebraska, by Mrs. Ethel T. Wead Mick. The Order takes it's name from the Book of Job, with particular reference to the 42nd chapter, 15th verse, which states: "And in all the land were no women found so fair as the Daughters of Job."

Tradition plays an important role in Job's Daughters meetings. Members wear dresses to "Bethel" meetings and Officers wear Grecian style robes to promote democracy and equality. Initiations are beautiful and sincere ceremonies, no embarrassing or harassing rituals or hazing are involved. Parents are always welcome at all meetings and are encouraged to become active helpers of the Bethel.

In addition to bi-monthly meetings, many fun activities are planned by the local Bethels, as well as regional "Grand Guardian Council," "Grand Bethel," or "Supreme Bethel" Officers in your area.
