The community initiatives this year are focused on empowering elementary-aged children in low-income communities to make healthy eating and active living a priority. By introducing children and their families to plants and vegetables through farm and gardening programs, we communicate healthy nutrition and diet; access to healthy food options; and physical activity programs.
Since 1958, our members have raised more than $2 million dollars to implement more than 35 community programs in Northern Virginia. Our members have provided hundreds of thousands volunteer hours in support of Northern Virginia nonprofits. We have engaged in various community initiatives, from combating homelessness and STEM education to healthy eating and active living initiatives for kids and families.
The Junior League of Northern Virginia strives to make a difference in the community by promoting the potential of women through voluntarism and leadership development.
