For members interested in political advocacy to improve the role of women in the workforce, the conference offers opportunities to learn about effective social advocacy techniques. The 2009 National College Conference for Women Student Leaders offers similar opportunities for college-age women. The only requirement for attending the NCCWSL is that the student's institution must have an AAUW branch and nominate the representative. The AAUW's National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP) tries to subsidize enrichment programs and act as an advocate for younger girls. The program known as Opening Opportunities for Girls in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) offers 'mini-grants' to local organizations with mentoring and enrichment opportunities for girls in the sciences. The AAUW tries to connect with community groups to broaden its mission of educational advocacy and enrichment, as well as creates programs of its own.

The AAUW provides some networking opportunities, as well as a venue of social activism that can benefit university-educated women.
