About Job's Daughters

Job's Daughters is an organization created to bring together young women in a fun filled, rewarding environment. In Job's Daughters young ladies are taught the values of leadership, organization, teamwork and self-reliance. The main goal is to help others and build our own individual character.

Mrs. Ethel T. Wead Mick in Omaha, Nebraska founded Job's Daughters in 1920. The purpose of the Order was to band together young girls with Masonic relationship for character building through moral and spiritual development by teaching a greater reverence for God and the Holy Scriptures: loyalty to the Flag and the Country for which it stands, and respect for parents and Guardians.

For over 75 years, Job's Daughters has been actively promoting friendship and service. Over the years girls participate in activities such as creative writing, art, bowling, swimming, and raising money for their charity. They also take fun trips to visit Children's Hospitals and still leave the daughters with enough time to participate in school activities and sports.

Job's Daughters is open to girls' ages 10 to 20 that have a Masonic Heritage. They do not follow any specific religion, but do require that their members have a belief in God. To become a Job's Daughter does not involve any embarrassing rituals or a test of courage. Initiations are solemn, meaningful ceremonies presented by the Bethel Officers. Parents are welcome at initiations and all of the meetings. To be a member of Job's Daughters is to be part of a group that promotes friendship among young women and confidence in them. As a member you will learn skills that will help you throughout your life. You will become part of an organization that serves the community. Most importantly, you will have fun.
