Junior League of Phoenix is a wonderful organization, which develops the potential in women by providing opportunities to serve the community and develop leadership skills. I have really enjoyed the training I have received and the chance to serve my community and further develop my own skills. I have gone to many community shifts where I have served alongside other members to help improve the Phoenix community. There are a variety of shifts offered to members that are offered in various parts of the Valley, times, and days of the week.From a leadership and development perspective, I have been in leadership throughout my Junior League of Phoenix career. Through this, I have learned more about sitting on a non-profit board, leading meetings, public speaking, creating a strategic to annual plan, budgeting, and many other transferrable skills. Overall, Junior Lague of Phoenix is a wonderful non-profit, which allows its members to choose various interests and paths they want to pursue to help better themselves and those around them.

I'm proud to be a member of the Junior League of Phoenix.

I, like many other women in this organization, joined to meet like-minded women. However, what I gained was so much more. I now actively make an impact in the community through volunteer opportunities, partnerships, and JLP programs. The League offers a variety of trainings ranging from leadership, diversity and inclusions, to even personal finance or getting involved in politics. The League offers everything I looked for in an organization. I can volunteer and make a difference, work with children and families, gain leadership experience, all while making lifelong friendships.

Joining Junior League of Phoenix has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I joined during Covid to make some friends and make a difference in the community. I gained much much more!!!! Not only have I made friends and been involved in the community I have gained leadership experience and training I normally would not have access to. I recommend JLP to anyone who is looking to elevate their life.

The Junior League of Phoenix is a wonderful organization that not only helps the community, but also looks to help women develop many skills that will benefit them through out their lives. I joined the league because I wanted a chance to make a difference throughout my community. There are many ways that a member can do this; whether its providing children with STEM activities to help grow and develop their mind, working with families who need resources such as food and clothing, or be an encouragement to children living with homelessness. After every opportunity I have had within the league to help someone I always feel happy and can't wait to do it again. The league also encourages their members to build relationships with other members to help support networking opportunities and to further develop skills within our current profession or a future one.
I am thankful to be a part of the Junior League of Phoenix and all that they do for the community of Phoenix.

I’ve heard of the Junior League since I was a teenager. I thought they were the classiest ladies one can aspire to be, and thought I’d never be able to join. Nothing can be further from the truth. You will never find a more supportive group of ladies, ever. Not only do they support their community and community roles, but they support you as a person. I’m proud to be a part of this organisation, and I hope to be for years to come.

I joined the Junior League of Phoenix 4 years ago because I was entering a life transition of my children graduating high school and me ready to change careers.
JLP provided me with leadership training, social experiences, experience with fundraising and public speaking skills to serve my community as a member of the Board of Directors for a nonprofit, starting my own business to serve families, and gave me additional opportunities to volunteer in the Phoenix community.
My close network of friends and business supporters we’re established through the Junior League of Phoenix. I would highly recommend this organization to any woman who wants to grow both professionally and personally.

Junior League of Phoenix has been vital to St. Vincent de Paul's work to feed, clothe, house, and heal our neighbors in need. Recently, the JLP team took on the enormous task of helping SVdP feed our guests more fresh foods and expanding our urban farm program and our diabetes education and prevention program. By providing financial resources, expertise, and volunteer hours, JLP helped families navigate the COVID pandemic in healthy, sustainable ways.

We are grateful to JLP for their leadership, care, and bias for action in serving our neighbors.

The Junior League of Phoenix is an outstanding community partner! JLP members have been volunteering at our organization, Harvest Compassion Center, every month for over a year. Their volunteers are hard-working, excited to be there and work so well with our guests. Not only do they support HCC with hundreds of volunteer hours, they have also contributed to our operations by hosting food drives and purchasing needed items from our Amazon wish list. The women of the JLP are exceptional and we are so proud that they have chosen to partner with us, it’s a true honor.

Over the past 20 years, the Junior League of Phoenix has supported the Children’s Museum of Phoenix in many instrumental ways. In our infancy, JLP provided a vital partnership for our Museum Without Walls program which consisted of hands-on, interactive exhibits and community build projects being presented at fairs and festivals throughout the valley. As a result of their dedication, the Museum was able to attend over 300 outreach events and serve more than 300,000 participants, allowing us to gain the community’s support to open our doors.

Since the Museum opened in 2008, the Junior League has served over 30,000 children and their families through their innovative ROCKETS program which takes place in our beloved Junior League of Phoenix Classroom. The ROCKETS program instills a love of science in our youngest learners and helps strengthen their critical thinking and exploration skills that are crucial to future academic success. Through their programming, JLP volunteers have supported our Museum's mission to engage the minds, muscles, and imaginations of children and the grown-ups who care about them and have made a lasting impact on children who visit the Museum.

Without the Junior League of Phoenix’s involvement, financial support and dedicated volunteers, the Museum would not be what it is today.

Having worked in the nonprofit sector for more than 20 years and with more than 100 nonprofit organizations as a fundraising consultant, I can easily say that Junior League of Phoenix is one of the most dedicated groups of civic volunteers I've encountered. These women are super committed to the League itself, the important work they do in the community to help disadvantaged kids and families and to the overall empowerment of women to create positive change and a more sustainable and healthy society. The Leadership training aspect extends for years and even decades for many of these compassionate members. Please join me in supporting them: https://www.jlp.org/invest/jlp-annual-fund/. Thank you!

I am a proud member of the Junior League of Phoenix.

In 2015 I joined the league to volunteer, to socialize and to meet other like minded women in our community. Not only did I do that, but I learned so much about myself and my leadership potential along the way ...

The Junior League of Phoenix has provided me with countless training opportunities that I can use in both my personal and professional life. It has provided me the opportunity to serve at volunteer shifts at so many great nonprofits around our valley with emphasis on 'Fighting Hunger in the Greater Phoenix Community'. It has also provided me fundamental leadership skills in a safe space where I can learn, grow and be myself.

As I write and reflect on this six years later, I can confidently say that our league has truly lived up to its Mission Statement - From "promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers", the league has kept its promise to me and so much more.

The JLP is an amazing place to meet like minded women who get things done! They have been a great organization to be apart of during COVID to stay connected and feel like you are making an impact during trying times. They have done an awesome of maintaining a sense of normalcy as well. The friendships and connections I've made during my tenure of being apart of the JLP I know will last a lifetime and have impacted my life immensely.

Being a member of Junior League of Phoenix since 2015 has been an incredible experience. I've had the opportunity to make a real impact in my community through volunteering with other non-profits and have received training that has given me tools to use in my roles in the league and in my personal/professional life. I've been able to meet and work alongside the most amazing and accomplished women and have built some strong friendships within the league. I can't imagine the kind of person or where I would be without JLP.

Junior League of Phoenix has provided me with a tremendous opportunity to give back to the community while further developing my own skill sets. This organization has provided me with hands-on training in leadership, diversity & inclusion, effective communication, website development, and so much more. I've also had countless opportunities to give back to the local community and make an impact in the fight against hunger. JLP has also provided an invaluable network of women leaders whom I rely on as mentors, sounding boards, and friends.

I joined the Junior League of Phoenix to serve my community and make personal connections. Despite being an almost native Phoenician, I was unaware of just how much the JLP has done and continues to do for the community. Not only do we serve others, but we also learn how to be leaders. The training and skills I've learned from chairing our annual rummage sale. It's a remarkable organization that values its members.
