I have been a member of Junior League, an international organization that advances women's leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training, since 2016 (first in Miami and now in Long Beach).
I have served on the Board of Directors for the last two years, currently as the VP of Membership and last year as the VP of Community, and in previous years as the chair of the Self Esteem program, the Kids in the Kitchen program and the Member Training program.
Since 1931, the Junior League of Long Beach (JLLB) has been the driving force behind the kinds of initiatives and institutions that make our community a healthier, more vital place to live. Throughout its history, JLLB has developed, supported and launched more than 60 projects into the community — making a measurable, positive impact on the welfare of greater Long Beach children and their families.
At the Junior League of Long Beach, 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.
I am proud of the work I have been a part of as a member of JLLB, including
1. Starting a Say Yes to the Prom Dress event for high schoolers experiencing housing insecurity that is now in it's third year and includes everything they need to attend prom + self esteem programming.
2. Our Especially Me! Self Esteem events for elementary schoolers which is a day long event we have offered all over LBUSD including on Catalina Island.
3. Our Kids in the Kitchen program which seeks to teach kids about healthy lifestyles.
4. Countless participation in community partnership events such as beach clean-ups, food distributions, school wellness fairs, and more!
Please consider supporting the great work that JLLB is doing by donating to our Long Beach Gives campaign, thank you!
