We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Johnson City

At the Junior League of Johnson City 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 current community goal of raising awareness, gathering information, and educating women and the community regarding women and children’s health and well-being.  So far we have done helped fund and build local playgrounds, helped create local resources for children and families, helped build Caring Cabinets throughout Johnson City to provide hygiene resources, and more. To continue to achieve this, we are always looking for more community partners. 

Our goal is to help Johnson City women develop civic leadership skills through the work they do, then put those talents to work in the communities that need it. Our current focus of women and children gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.  

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout Washington, Carter, and Unicoi Counties 

The Junior League of Johnson City 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 Washington, Carter, and Unicoi. 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, Junior League of Johnson City is making a big impact on our East Tennessee region.

We’re Transforming Johnson City Communities By Challenging the Status Quo

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, the Junior League of Johnson City’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. So far this year, we have helped fund 5 new Caring Cabinets, helped feed families at the Ronald McDonald House, and started our work on our signature project. We believe that these impactful actions have the power to bring us closer to our goal of benefiting the lives of women and children in our community.
