AVIV WIZO
AVIV WIZO is designed for the 30 - 45 age range.
'As a member of AVIV WIZO I know that the little bit I do is helping Israeli children and giving them a brighter future.'
- Caroline, NW London
In 1957 the Head of the World WIZO Organisation and Education Department, Mrs Faye Grove-Pollak, realised that the 'generation gap' often prevented young women from joining their mothers and grandmothers as WIZO members.
She decided to bring together a group of young women who were to be a continuing generation and a source of future leadership. She called the group AVIV - spring. Mrs Grove-Pollak continued to form new AVIV groups as she travelled from one country to another.
AVIV in the UK was established in 1961 and was designed for the 30-45 age range. We currently have 15 groups:
