We’re Empowering the Next Great Civic Leaders…
And we’re already making a powerful impact by leading change within South Hampton Roads communities! To us, becoming a civic leader is all about understanding that local efforts have a global reach, and it all begins with creating local leadership opportunities that put women’s skills and passion to work right here in South Hampton Roads. If you’re interested in developing civic leadership skills while collaborating on important efforts with a group of like-minded women, you’re in the right place!
The Junior League is a Highly Respected Organization with an Extraordinary Legacy…
And JLNVB is very proud of that historic reputation, but as society changes, we adapt and evolve. We strive to put our venerable values to work in modern ways; demonstrating our pride and perpetuating our legacy by serving as a powerful voice for action, justice and change throughout South Hampton Roads.
For more than a century, the JLNVB has diligently worked to support the community by providing resources, volunteers, and training. Every three years, a community needs assessment is done and the Active Members of the JLNVB vote on a new community impact area. The new impact area for the 2025-2028 League years is Women’s Health.
Together, we are working to empower our members as we collectively donate on average more than 40,000 volunteer hours annually to community agencies and programs that support our focus area. Will you be one of them?
Join the movement that’s dedicated to creating change, empowering leaders, and impacting the communities of South Hampton Roads.
