New Century Singers Whittier is part of the California Women’s Chorus Organization. 

The California Women's Chorus, Inc. (CWC) is a non-profit organization devoted to the encouragement of choral singing among women throughout the state of California. Under its corporate charter, the philanthropic purpose of this organization is to raise funds for vocal scholarships which are presented at the annual Convention Scholarship Concert. 

Today the CWC has 10 individual choruses with over 300 members from San Diego in the south to the Bay Area in the north. Some of the choruses present musical programs of varied melodies, from old standards to folk songs, show tunes and seasonal favorites. Other groups incorporate costumes, dance numbers and comedy into their programs. Some groups have toured and performed while visiting Asia, Europe and Hawaii.

The women’s choruses mainly perform in and around their own communities at senior residences, hospitals, local service groups, churches and public concerts. In this way, funds are raised for the scholarships which are presented at the annual convention and concert. Also featured at the annual concert are the vocalists chosen to receive scholarships to pursue a career in vocal music.
