JLW is active in our local community advocating for young ladies, as well as providing opportunities for personal and professional growth in a great atmosphere with amazing ladies. The League has been instrumental in State Legislation and in helping young women in our immediate community. Great volunteer group to be a part of.
The Junior League of Wilmington provides me with opportunities to give back to my community, develop as a leader, and make new friends and connections in the area!
There are so many great opportunities to volunteer with JLW, helping pregnant teens at DAPI (http://dapi.org/), supporting the passage of Erin's Law (http://erinslaw.org) in Delaware, helping youth living at the Wilmington Senior Center, volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House, providing job skills training for women at Bayard House (http://www.ccwilm.org/bayard-house/), and the list goes on and on.
The Junior League of Wilmington is focused on improving the lives of girls age 12-18 in Greater Wilmington.
In addition, JLW has many social aspects. At our monthly membership meetings, we have a social hour to mix and mingle with other JLW members. Then we have a social committee to arrange outings such as tea at British Bell Tearoom, beer tastings, dinners, happy hours, etc.!
I started as a member of the JLW Provisional Class January of 2015 and I became an Active member April/May 2015. During my time as a Provisional, I was able to make great new friendships with other new members as we worked on our class project. I've never met so many friendly, smart, and proactive women in one group!
