Local Impact

In the 2020-2021 fiscal year, Junior League members have invested more than 300 volunteer hours into the local community.  Recently, we have focused on projects related to developing women and children.  We currently divide our volunteer efforts among the Partner Projects, Done-in-a-Day Projects, and our League Events.

  • Partner Projects are longterm partnerships with local nonprofits that we’ve developed projects together to achieve their goals.
  • Done-in-a-Day Projects are one-day projects that local nonprofits have developed and need our assistance to fulfill their volunteer needs to achieve their goals.
  • League Events vary from fundraising efforts to sustainer connections to League socials.

Junior League is welcoming nonprofit agencies who would like to partner on future projects to review our project criteria, and email juniorleaguelawton@gmail.com with opportunities for volunteers.
