Since 1958, the Junior League of Northern Virginia (JLNV) has provided tens of thousands of service hours, thousands of hours in leadership training, and millions in financial support to local nonprofits across Northern Virginia. Throughout its history, the JLNV has been a founder for the Children’s Science Center, created the Family Resource Center with Shelter House, and built multipurpose rooms at the Katherine K. Hanley Family Shelter. Most recently, the JLNV is addressing period poverty in our communities and improving access to menstrual products for women in Northern Virginia through the establishment of our period pantries.

Each year, the JLNV partners with a diverse range of community agencies that reflect our mission, vision and values by providing much-needed volunteer resources and funding. This year, through our Community Grants program alone, the JLNV will contribute more than 330 volunteer hours, valued at more than $11,051, along with awarding $10,000 in grant funding to our community partners.
