All in for Education

Modern Woodmen’s 2026 national community focus

When communities come together, schools thrive

Each year, Modern Woodmen rallies members across the country around a single community cause, concentrating funding and volunteer power where it can do the most good.  

Choosing one cause each year helps us act together – supporting local efforts with national momentum. Past efforts have addressed mental health, financial literacy and animal needs.  

Modern Woodmen’s All in for Education initiative is dedicated to uplifting schools, educators and students in communities across the country. Members will give back to schools through hands-on service, donations of supplies and heartfelt recognition of staff. 

See what member chapters and youth service clubs will focus on throughout the year.
