Overview

Mission

The junior league of lubbock is an organization of women whose mission is to advance women's leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.

What it reported doing in 2022

As a result of a prior focus area to impove the lives of children in lubbock and the surrounding communities, the junior league has created and implemented several programs. The junior league of lubbock developed the south plains food2kids program, a project in association with the lubbock independent school district to provide food on fridays to children who have been identified as being at risk for suffering from hunger during the weekend. The junior league of lubbock also adopted kids in the kitchen, a program initiated by junior league associations from across the country to encourage children and families to get in the kitchen, promote healthier lifestyles and provide resources and hand on instruction to facilitate these goals. Additionally, the junior league of lubbock created a program titled spark to educate under-privileged and underserved teenage girls in lubbock. The spark program ignites the potential in middle school girls to develop into self-confident students and leaders making a positive impact in their community. This eight month program teaches teamwork, self-confidence, the value of education and impact of community involvement through volunteerism. During the 2022-2023 junior league of lubbock fiscal year, the junior league of lubbock will build relationships with ten to fifteen young women from dunbar, ol slaton, and cavazos middle schools in the lubbock independent school district.
