Since its inception in 1928, the Junior League of San Diego (JLSD) has been a force in training individuals to emerge as community leaders. With a current membership of nearly 800, JLSD passionately dedicates itself to mission-driven programs addressing food insecurity and fostering women’s leadership. The vital support received plays a pivotal role in the success of these initiatives.

Impactful Initiatives:

Past initiatives include crock pot purchases, cooking programs, donation drives, targeted grant writing, and more.

Mentoring: Personalized support from JLSD mentors contributes significantly to the personal, educational, and professional growth of women.

Advocacy: The advocacy program actively raises awareness by bringing together local and state leaders to address critical issues affecting foster youth, human trafficking, and homelessness.

Empowering Communities, One Initiative at a Time

Situated in the heart of San Diego, JLSD serves as a steadfast beacon of community service, devoted to tackling critical needs through a comprehensive approach.

At the forefront of this endeavor is the Community Council, epitomizing the organization’s unwavering commitment to creating a lasting impact. Through the implementation of thoughtful initiatives, cultivation of strategic partnerships, and unwavering dedication to advocacy, JLSD remains a dynamic catalyst for positive change in the community. By steering impactful projects, the Community Council actively touches lives and makes a tangible difference, exemplifying JLSD’s pledge to empower communities one initiative at a time.

Community Donations Committee: Meeting Essential Needs

In response to the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic in San Diego communities, JLSD has adopted a practical approach to address essential needs, particularly those stemming from food insecurity through the Community Donations Committee.

The Community Donations Committee is dedicated to supplying crucial items such as diapers, feminine products, and additional necessities like backpacks, school supplies, blankets, and toys during the holidays. By prioritizing these essentials, our aim is to lighten the burdens faced by families grappling with food insecurity. The Committee has successfully donated thousands of these essential items to community partners, contributing to the creation of a more secure and stable environment for those in need.
