Each club establishes its own level of participation in community service projects and local programs. The Zonta Clubs in District 3 support a large variety of projects. Most clubs offer local college scholarships for women in junior colleges, four year colleges, and graduate level education. The District is heavily involved in local projects to end domestic violence, raise funds for cancer research, and participate in literacy programs. Because the United Nations is headquartered in District 3, our clubs are closely aligned with United Nations programs.

Local Zonta clubs promote women's leadership through the 'Young Women in Public Affairs" Awards program. This program is designed to encourage young women to enter public affairs and policy-making fields. Z Clubs for high school students and Golden Z Clubs for college and university students encourage leadership skills development, career exploration, and service. Local clubs also contribute funds to the Zonta International Strategies to Eradicate Violence Against Women and Children; to the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarships for women in college level business fields; and the Amelia Earhart Fellowships which have provided over $4,000,000 to help more than 500 talented young women pursue graduate level study in aerospace related sciences and engineering. In addition, local clubs contribute funds to the Zonta International service project.

Zonta members are invited to attend an International Convention every two years in attractive locations around the world. Past Conventions have been held in Sydney, Australia; Helsinki, Finland; Denver, Colorado; Hong Kong; and Paris, France. The 2004 Convention was held in New York, NY and the 2006 Convention is planned for Melbourne, Australia.
