“And in all the land were no women found so fair as the Daughters of Job; and their Father gave them inheritance among their brethren.”
Job’s Daughters is an organization of young women between the ages of 10 and 20 who are related to a Master Mason, and share a common bond.
Throughout the year, they perform service projects to help the community, the less fortunate, and other charities. They actively support the Hearing Impaired Kids Endowment (HIKE) Fund, which purchases hearing assistance devices for hearing impaired children. They teach individual leadership by holding various offices within Job’s Daughters. Various scholarships are offered on a state and a national level.
Organized into local chapters called Bethel. Members of a Bethel elect their own officers, decide their own activities, and plan their own events.
