What is the purpose of the Junior League of Cedar Rapids?
Junior League of Cedar Rapids, Inc. (JLCR) is an organization of women whose mission is to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.
Who is a typical JLCR member?
We are a diverse organization that welcomes and celebrates women of all backgrounds. Each member brings her own unique perspective to our organization and enriches our League.
We are young professionals and stay-at-home moms, executive directors and presidents, independent contractors and business owners, but above all, we are women who want to improve our communities and ourselves.
How is JLCR different from other volunteer organizations?
JLCR specifically emphasizes training; though these trainings are generally geared toward voluntarism and the advancement of JLCR, each of our members has found that she can transfer these skills to her professional life, her personal life, and her other volunteer commitments.
