Community Impact

The Junior League of Los Angeles provides the Los Angeles community with over 60,000 volunteer hours each year through its many projects and programs. Learn more about what we do.

Our Mission

The Junior League of Los Angeles is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and to improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

The Junior League of Los Angeles reaches out to women of all races, religions and national origins who demonstrate an interest in and a commitment to voluntarism and to the community.

The Junior League of Los Angeles provides training opportunities to develop its volunteers through seminars, community service, leadership roles and mentoring in order to achieve its mission.

How You Can Help

This year’s Annual Giving Campaign, “Make a Life by Giving,” enhances our core purpose of Women Building Better Communities. Last year, the money raised funded six community projects along with 20 Done in A Day one day projects that immediately impact the lives of underserved women and children in the County of Los Angeles.

JLLA's Provisional Class Kicks off 5th Annual KITK

The 2009-2010 provisional class kicks off JLLA’s “Kids in the Kitchen” (KITK) program to help empower nearly 500 Los Angeles children and teens make healthy lifestyle choices that could help reverse the rate of childhood obesity and associated health issues. The seven KITK events will take place on Saturdays from April 10-24, 2010. Lessons include preparing healthy meals and snacks, and demonstrations of fun and easy ways to stay in shape.


Annual Giving “Make Lives by Giving” Campaign

We thank the 25 percent of members who have given to the Fund – either with the Angel Campaign or through the Annual Fund for their generous donations. To reach our goal of 100 percent participation, we've asked all our members to give – even if it is just $1! Support can change a life in such amazing ways.

 

JLLA Helps Students Get Ready to Attend College

The students at Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) have worked incredibly hard to reach an enormous milestone in their lives: preparing to go to college! Members are collecting comfort items to help them make living away from home easier.

 

Comedy Sportz Puts On A Show For Aviva

Last month, Comedy Sportz, the longest running stage show in Los Angeles, came to Aviva to help teach team building and self-confidence to our program participants. Little did we know that it would end up being a great bonding opportunity for everyone and provide us with the chance to see new sides to these great girls.

 

Stories Abroad Springs into Action!

JLLA’s CII Stories Abroad program began its spring 2010 session with a bang and the program’s highest enrollment to date! At the end of the event, 35 kids had enrolled in the spring workshops – 15 more than in years past. So far this session, the group has visited ancient Egypt, France, Stonehenge, Africa, the American Southwest and Ireland! The children also celebrated Earth Day, a month early, on March 13, 2010, by learning about conservation and recycling and by beautifying the CII campus.

 

DWC Has Soul

JLLA member Wendy Phelps was the featured guest speaker at the February 27, 2010, “Whole Woman: Saturday’s for Yourself” workshop at the Downtown Women’s Center (DWC). The workshop, focusing on the theme “Soul”, was filled to capacity with 25 participants. Wendy, owner of  “More is Available Coaching and Consulting” presented many strategies for coping with the stress life invariably brings our way, and also bringing out the best in ourselves in any situation.


Public Policy Training On Childhood Obesity

On Saturday, May 1, 2010, the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) will hold its annual training on Childhood Obesity, a topic chosen for its timeliness, as well as the fact that it is highly relevant to JLLA’s Kids in the Kitchen project. This past February, First Lady Michelle Obama announced her intention to make childhood obesity a national priority. With this national focus and relevance to our community partner, PAC decided to take a closer look at what can be done to combat this problem and ways to promote education and awareness within the community.
