We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in South Hampton Roads

At the Junior League of Norfolk-Virginia Beach (JLNVB) 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.

Our goal is to help South Hampton Roads women develop civic leadership skills through the work they do, then put those talents to work in the communities that need it. Developing programming within our current focus  on women’s health gives women opportunities to expand their own skills and knowledge, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout South Hampton Roads

The Junior League of Norfolk-Virginia Beach offers so much more than local volunteering opportunities! Our League of leaders creates real change by advancing social activism-focused projects that directly benefit the communities of South Hampton Roads. By giving women the tools to lead, educating them about their communities’ needs, and helping them put their unique brand of creativity and skill to work, JLNVB is making a big impact on South Hampton Roads.

We’re Transforming South Hampton Roads Communities By Challenging the Status Quo

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, JLNVB’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. We have identified women’s health as the most pressing issue in our community right now, and we are helping local women take action to address the concerns related to women’s health across the life spectrum. Learn more about the needs in our community and why our Members chose “Women’s Health” to be the area of focus here.

Our previous focus area was children’s literacy, so most recently we have partnered with local school systems to update and refresh our elementary schools through Elevate to Educate, worked with REACH to distribute books to local youth, and provided fresh books to install and fill Little Free Libraries across the region.
