The Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) is a non-partisan, non-denominational, and non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a lifestyle of abstinence from alcohol, illegal drugs, and tobacco. The organization's mission is to educate people about the benefits of total abstinence with the help of God. In addition to their educational efforts, the WCTU offers various programs and services.

The Join Us in Prayer initiative encourages members to engage in daily prayer at noon, creating a continuous circle of prayer worldwide. For parents with children under six, the White Ribbon Recruits program involves a dedication ceremony where a white ribbon is tied to the child's wrist, symbolizing their commitment to Christian principles and abstinence. The organization also provides engaging programs for children and young people.

The Loyal Temperance Legion offers fun activities and learning opportunities for children aged six to twelve, while the Youth Temperance Council caters to young people over the age of twelve, promoting a good time with a purpose. Men can participate in the WCTU as Honorary Members and support the organization's work, while women are eligible to vote and hold office. Members are often referred to as white ribboners and wear a white ribbon bow to symbolize purity.
