Overview

The Junior League of Lancaster (JLL) seeks to improve the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. The JLL pursues a wide spectrum of strategies and partnerships for long-term solutions beyond relieving the immediate needs that communities might have. This long-view mindset allows us to fulfill our mission of “improving communities” in a meaningful and systemic way.

We listen to the community and respond with well-designed strategies for change. Based on a full understanding of a community’s needs and assets, as well as an assessment of internal capacity, we identify the niche where we can be most impactful within our community’s ecosystem. We also focus on developing members’ community and civic leadership potential. Our members are engaged in every step of the process; their voices and passion are front and center, and their capabilities are utilized in creative and effective ways. In doing so, the JLL is able to offer members opportunities to build their community and civic leadership skills in ways that also enhance the JLL’s community impact initiatives.
