The purpose of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) is to protect families from all negative influences. It describes itself as dedicated to educating young people about the harmful effects of alcohol, illegal drugs, and tobacco and works to build support for total abstinence from alcohol. The WCTU works on all issues using Scripture as its foundation. WCTU members sign a pledge promising to abstain from beverage alcohol.
The organization was founded in 1873 and is considered the oldest voluntary, non-sectarian women's organization in continuous existence in the world.
