The Continental Societies Inc. was organized in 1956 and incorporated nationally in 1972. Today, Continental Societies Inc, consists of 50 chapters in 21 states in the Continental USA, District of Columbia and Bermuda. Through a Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: Health, Education, Employment, Recreation (HEER), plus Arts and Humanities, Continental women internationally strive to adhere to the humanitarian precept of sharing with those in need.

 

The Columbus Chapter was initially established back in 1970 by a group of dedicated educators and distinguished women who were dedicated to socio-economic and cultural welfare of under-privileged children and youth. A group of new members were inducted into the reclaimed chapter on December 3, 2017 and have demonstrated their strong commitment to serving the youth in their community.

 

Columbus Continentals have actively engaged in community projects in various capacities to include, donating bicycles to the annual Bicycle Giveaway, participating in the African American Read-In, holding a Clinicals Drive at partnership school, Anti-Bullying initiative and sponsorship of needy children.
