Community

The Junior League of Charlottesville contributes through multiple avenues.

Projects In A Day (PIAD)

Our Projects In A Day (PIAD) program provides our members the opportunity for direct service to the community in a way that supports our mission, vision and focus; and addresses significant community issues. JLC members help local non-profit organizations fulfill their missions by contributing countless hands-on volunteer hours.

Community Partner Program

Community Partners are local non-profit agencies that have been selected as recipients of the League’s volunteer hours and community support funds. Partnerships typically last multiple years in order to maximize the influence of both organizations’ work in the community.

Boys and Girls Club of Central Virginia

The Boys and Girls Club’s mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. JLC will continue to partner with the B&G Club Albemarle Campus Club in their Cooking Circles project, with the goal of empowering the health and independence of girls ages nine through eleven through sharing cooking skills, knowledge and tips, while providing fellowship and mentorship.
