Junior League of Long Beach Fundraiser

I have been a member of Junior League, an international organization that advances women's leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training, since 2016 (first in Miami and now in Long Beach).

I have served on the Board of Directors, chair of the Self Esteem program, the Kids in the Kitchen program and the Member Training program and this year I am a member of the fundraising team.

Since 1931, the Junior League of Long Beach (JLLB) has been the driving force behind the kinds of initiatives and institutions that make our community a healthier, more vital place to live. Throughout its history, JLLB has developed, supported and launched more than 60 projects into the community — making a measurable, positive impact on the welfare of greater Long Beach children and their families.

At the Junior League of Long Beach, we live in the moment. To us, that means adjusting our focus according to our community’s most pressing needs. Our work is always evolving, and that keeps us on our toes, striving for progress, and preparing to take on whatever comes next.

I am proud of the work I have been a part of as a member of JLLB, including the research and preparation for launching a new signature program this year focused on Youth Leadership Development. This will be a program for female high school students to help them learn valuable real world skills, gain exposure to different types of careers by speaking to real women currently working in them and encourage them to go after their dreams, whatever that may be.

Additionally, I helped start a Say Yes to the Prom Dress event for high schoolers experiencing housing insecurity that will begin it's 4th year this year and includes everything they need to attend their prom while making them feel pampered and special during the day.

Your help during this first fundraiser of the JLLB year really helps our organization reach our goals of continuing our community programs!
