Job's Daughters is a service oriented, non-profit organization created to unite girls who share the common bond
of a Masonic heritage. This enables them to learn leadership skills, organizational methods, and the importance
of fulfilling individual responsiblities within a group. By planning their own activities, the daughters have fun
doing what they want to do and at the same time creating lasting friendships.
Purpose
The purpose of Job's Daughters International is to promote love and friendship among young women. It gives its
members the foundation on which to build the qualities needed to become leading, organizing, and contributing partners
of society. It broadens the horizons of young women by bringing them into contact with people from other cultures
within the United States and foreign jurisdictions such as Canada, the Philippines, Australia, and Brazil.
Object
The object of this organization is band together girls for spiritual and moral up building, to seek knowledge,
to teach love of God, love of Country, respect for its Flag, love of home and family, and reverence for the teachings
of the Holy Scriptures.
Who May Join?
Girls between the ages of 10 and 20 who is a relative of a Job's Daughter Majority Member, or a Master Mason or
so related to his wife or widow. Relatives include cousins, step families and adoptions.
Our Order does not stress any specific religious beliefs. It just encourages belief and trust
in God.
How Can You Join Job's Daughters?
You must complete a petition and submit it to a local Bethel. The petition will be read at a meeting, after which
a few of the Bethel's members will visit you and answer your questions about Job's Daughters. Your initiation will
be held shortly afer the visit. An initiation into Job's Daughters does not involve embarrassing rituals or test
of courage as do in the infamous initiations of college and childhood clubs; instead, it is a reverent and meaningful
ceremony in which you are introduced to the life and trials of Job by the Bethel officers.
After joining, all members are asked to attend two meetings each month. You are also asked to
attend various fund raising events and service projects; however, no member is asked to do things that interfere
with family, school, or church events.
