If I have a full-time job, can I still volunteer?
Yes! A majority of JLGP volunteers hold regular full-time jobs. The JLGP has volunteer opportunities available in the evenings and on weekends. There are also projects that take place during the day so there really is something available for everyone. Most meetings are usually held in the evenings and occasionally on the weekends so this offers additional flexibility for working women.

What organizations benefit from your community programs?
This year, there are a number of organizations, which will receive funding, hands-on volunteer support, clothes and food or books, one-on-one mentoring, and educational experiences through the work of JLGP volunteers.

Beginning in the 2020-2021 League year the JLGP is very excited to focus on Food Security as the topic where we hope to make a deep impact in the next 7-10 years. This topic was selected after a two year process that engaged League members in experiencing a number of topics and community volunteering opportunities. Moving forward the JGLP will engage members around the new focus of food security through education, training and hands on community volunteering.
