Welcome to the Junior League of San Diego

As President of the Junior League of San Diego (JLSD), I am honored to welcome you to our League and invite you to join us in supporting our work in the San Diego community. Nearly 100 years ago, a small group of San Diego women decided that their time, energy, and leadership could change their city for the better. That belief is still exactly what drives us today. Since 1929, JLSD has been empowering women leaders to tackle critical community needs and foster meaningful change in the San Diego community. Through it all, our mission hasn’t wavered: to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training. We believe that when you invest in women as leaders, you create a ripple effect of change that reaches every corner of the community. I hope you will consider helping us continue this legacy of impact.

There are so many ways you can offer your support to JLSD: by donating to our mission, attending our events, or joining as a member. Your support allows us to continue training our members to be community leaders, to advocate for change, and to directly impact the San Diego community. Last year alone, our members distributed over 13,000 diapers and over 25,000 period products, advocated for change in Sacramento, and contributed over 1,000 hours of hands-on volunteer service across San Diego. We also continued to build our partnerships within the community, securing multiple grants to increase our outreach. These achievements are a testament of what we can accomplish together.

But the work is not done. San Diego’s needs are real, and they’re growing. By supporting JLSD, you are investing in the future of San Diego. Donations to our Annual Fund allow us to continue training our members with the skills to equip them to serve as community leaders. Attending our events allows you to connect with others who believe in our mission and want to make a difference in San Diego. Joining our League offers a unique opportunity to develop your leadership potential, form lifelong connections, and be part of an organization that drives real and lasting change. Our community needs trained, committed women stepping into leadership roles — in nonprofits, on boards, in local government, and in their own workplaces.

The Junior League of San Diego is more than just a volunteer organization – it’s a place where women are trained to become civic leaders and a place where tangible community impact occurs. By supporting us, you are supporting lasting change in San Diego.
I invite you to come to an event, meet our members, ask us questions, or simply make a gift today. However you choose to get involved, know that you’ll be supporting an organization that has been showing up for San Diego for almost a century — and one that is just getting started.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you at one of our events or welcoming you to our League!

With gratitude,
Jackie Kallberg
President 2026-2027
