Overview

Mission

The junior league of gainesville-hall county is an organization of women whose mission is to advance womens leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.

What it reported doing in 2024

Agency assistance is dedicated to projects that promote the well-being of children and families. As an active volunteer organization of more than three hundred women, the league has a rich tradition of providing volunteers for projects assisting women and children in the community. As part of her annual member requirements, each member volunteers for a done- in-a-day project with a local agency, and the league awards funds to support these projects. The league also continually looks for ways to partner with other organizations to enrich the impact of programs offered to women and children. The league provides funding to other organizations and civic clubs by awarding a portion of funds raised from its annual charity ball to supporting organizations and clubs. Additionally, the league reserves a percentage of its endowment funds to award a signature grant every five years to a deserving non-profit agency program or major league project.
