The Fort Collins Branch of AAUW has a long tradition of community involvement. A key focus of the branch has been the Poudre School District (PSD). The branch was financially instrumental in the establishment of BASE Camp, a before and after school enrichment program. Branch members have been active in PSD programs such as Green Circle, tutoring, Reading for Fun, and equipment drives. Fort Collins AAUW participates in Make a Difference Day by reading to students at local elementary schools as well as donating books to schools.
In addition to education, the branch has been active in many environmental issues and projects such as the Poudre River Project and Families and Work Conference. Fort Collins AAUW has worked with BASE Camp providing the Hands Are Not For Hurting Program and this program is in several kindergarten classrooms in Poudre School District.
The branch builds relationships with groups serving youth and works by volunteering and providing financial support for community projects, such as the annual Young Women's Journey Conference.
