The Silver City Woman's Club provides vision testing to all children up to the age of six, including Head Start, kindergarten and first grade students annually. They also provide hearing testing to all Head Start students in Grant County and have scheduled the hearing testing for the end of August. The club provides two scholarships to students at Western New Mexico University annually as part of their local Community Outreach Program.
