We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Evansville

At the Junior League of Evansville we live in the moment. To us, that means adjusting our focus according to our community’s most pressing needs. Our work is always evolving, and that keeps us on our toes, striving for progress, and preparing to take on whatever comes next.

Our current community goal of tackling food insecurity can be achieved by researching the need in the community, organizing a plan to meet the need, executing our plan and revising as we learn. So far we have done our research and learned that the access to healthy, fresh, and affordable groceries is lacking in several of our neighborhoods, known as the Promise Zone. During our research, we found bringing these resources into these communities directly helped us to achieve this, and are working to make our neighborhood food market a resource for health, fresh, and affordable groceries.

Our goal is to help Evansville women develop civic leadership skills through the work they do, then put those talents to work in the communities that need it. Our current focus of Food Insecurity gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout Evansville

Junior League of Evansville offers so much more than local volunteering opportunities! Our League of leaders creates real change by advancing social activism-focused projects that directly benefit the communities of Evansville. By giving women the tools to lead, educating them about their communities’ needs, and helping them put their unique brand of creativity and skill to work, JLE is making a big impact in Evansville.
