Each year, AJLI highlights two Leagues that demonstrate the spirit of “Find the Good Day” through meaningful community connection. Recognized Leagues typically show:
Creative activation of the Find the Good Day spirit that reflects local needs and garners interest and participation.
High member engagement through participation, visibility and collection action.
Impactful community touchpoints that help Find the Good in their community.
Demonstration of volunteer leadership.
Positive storytelling, sharing how members uplifted others or highlighted good happening locally.
There is no application. AJLI reviews post-event surveys and social media for activities, stories and shared outcomes to select honorees.
Our first winner is The Junior League of Alexandria, LA. They celebrated Find The Good Day by providing 24 hours of community service. In total, they served 133 hours over a 24-hour period. By doing so, they solidified community partnerships, empowered students and teachers to share kindness and helped business and organizations complete projects.
This is the true power of “many hands make light work”. They were granted proclamations from the City of Alexandria and the City of Pineville and from the state of Louisiana.
Congratulations to the Junior League of Alexandria, LA!
The Junior League of Las Vegas, NV held a lot of activities in creative ways to celebrate Find the Good Day, including one of their members writing a song to commemorate the day.
The Junior League of Las Vegas also gave away $60,000 in grants to 18 different nonprofits in their community while also serving shift at three different nonprofits throughout the day. To celebrate their hard work, the League lit the High Roller Ferris Wheel in bright yellow and encouraged members to come ride and take photos.
Congratulations to the Junior League of Las Vegas, NV!
