History
The York Association of Women Graduates was originally part of the British Federation of Women Graduates, but York members decided to become independent. This resolution was subsequently agreed and the York Association of Women Graduates (YAWG) was formed. YAWG ceased activity in September 2012 due to a dwindling membership.

Functions, occupations and activities
Upon forming itself independently, the intention of YAWG was to continue in the same manner as formerly but with local meetings, speakers and fundraising activities. An over-riding objective was to sponsor the education of secondary school girl students from Africa, and from this aim our long-lasting fund for such students from Zimbabwe ensued. The Association has enjoyed many pleasant excursions and interesting speakers over the years.
