We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Tacoma/Pierce County

JLT Members in action packing Hygiene bags and writing inspiring notes at Raising Girls. This day, over 300 bags were packed and ready to be delivered to schools around Pierce County.

At the Junior League of Tacoma 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 impact focuses on youth experiencing homelessness by addressing outcomes of housing uncertainty through partnering with community stakeholders at local youth shelters to organizations working with public schools across Pierce County who support vulnerable students. As members of the JLT, we are committed to educating women about their communities’ needs by providing them with the tools to advocate and lead.

Our goal is to help Tacoma/Pierce County 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 Youth Experiencing Homelessness gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout Pierce County

The Junior League of Tacoma 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 Tacoma/Pierce County. 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, the Junior League of Tacoma is making a big impact on Tacoma/Pierce County.

We’re Transforming Tacoma/Pierce County Communities By Challenging the Status Quo

Members of the Junior League of Tacoma assembled 16 crockpot meal kits, complete with recipes and non-perishable ingredients, for residents at MDC —helping make home-cooked meals more accessible during an important time of independence.

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, the Junior League of Tacoma’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. We have identified Youth Experiencing Homelessness and Financial Insecurity  as the most pressing issue in our community right now, and we are helping local women take action to resolve it.
