Community Program The Junior League of San Jose works to help young children enter elementary school ready to learn and thrive. Our Commitment The Junior League of San Jose is committed to helping young children enter elementary school ready to learn and thrive by focusing its volunteer and financial resources on collaborative projects. These include projects that encourage children to explore, play and make their own discoveries, mentor teen parents finishing their education, and provide support services to relative caregivers and their families in Santa Clara County. The Junior League of San Jose invests in the community in three major ways: - The League raises money to fund its current projects and to fund grants to non-profit agencies that meet the League's criteria.
- League members work as trained volunteers on community projects and services like the Children’s Discovery Museum’s Wonder Cabinet early childhood center, The Grandparent Resource Center's Independent Living Program and the Georgia M. Travis Center.
- The League promotes and recognizes voluntarism through its annual community-wide Volunteer Recognition Luncheon and provides a scholarship fund for volunteers taking training courses.
