Community Impact

What’s the critical element in our success over 11 decades? The power of the trained volunteer.

Making an Impact on our Communities

Through their experience in the organization, the women of The Junior League gain a unique expertise: the ability to identify the most pressing problem facing a community and then craft a solution in collaboration with community partners. The initiatives we develop make an impact on their communities and pave the way for long-term, sustainable change.
