2025 – Division 3: Women Helping Women Program

The Junior League of Northern Virginia

The Junior League of Northern Virginia recognized the need to reexamine its community focus to create a stronger impact and foster deeper connections among members. After much research and input from their members, JLNV selected a new focus area:  Women Helping Women: Providing access to essential services and professional development opportunities for women and families. By prioritizing access to essential services through their Period Pantry Campaign and providing professional development opportunities for women and families, this focus area directly addresses the empowerment and advancement of women. Expanding its focus to Women Helping Women also enabled JLNV to launch the inaugural AJLI Junior League Teens program in September 2024. The program is meant for high school students and fosters leadership development, volunteerism, and community impact among young women.  The JLNV Teens program has not only provided young women with critical skills and experiences but also strengthened connections between JLNV members, sustainers, past presidents, and the broader community. By inspiring the next generation of leaders, JLNV Teens helps ensure the Junior League's mission endures for years to come.  Congratulations to the Junior League of Northern Virginia!
