We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Central New York 

At the Junior League of Syracuse 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.  

Our current community goal is to support at-risk families in at-risk situations. This can be achieved by working with our focus areas Women and Children, Hunger, and Literacy So far we have done 784 hours Community Volunteer Hours to achieve this and are working to build on our existing community partner relationships. 

Our goal is to help Central New York women develop civic leadership skills through the work they do, then put those talents to work in the communities that need it. Our current focus of supporting at-risk families gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.  

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout Central New York 

The Junior League of Syracuse offers so much more than local volunteering opportunities! Our League of leaders creates real change by advancing social activism-focused projects that directly benefit the communities of Central New York. By giving women the tools to lead, educating them about their communities’ needs, and helping them put their unique brand of creativity and skill to work, Junior League of Syracuse is making a big impact on Central New York.  

We’re Transforming Central New York Communities By Challenging the Status Quo 

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, the Junior League of Syracuse’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. We have identified supporting at-risk families as the most pressing issue in our community right now, and we are helping local women take action to resolve it. So far this year, we have we continued to stock the Little Free Libraries we installed in 2021 in Syracuse Housing Authority neighborhoods. We believe that these impactful actions have the power to bring us closer to our goal of helping women and children, including hosting our annual STEM Day with the sixth-grade girls of Brighton Academy.
