Community Project Application Deadline August 31
If you’re interested in partnering with the Junior League of Birmingham in 2023 - 2024, the deadline to submit your application is August 31st at 5 p.m. Apply here.
Over the years, our volunteers have worked with agencies, like yours, to improve the health, education, financial stability, and well-being of the Birmingham community. We continue that tradition as we solicit agency partners and select programs that will create systemic change in our community.
Our Community Research Committee will evaluate and select projects that complement the mission of the Junior League of Birmingham. The committee will look for projects that offer our members the opportunity to impact our community in meaningful and challenging ways. We encourage projects that are collaborative and address critical, unmet needs in the Birmingham community. Our Community Research Committee evaluates each project and how it complements the mission of the JLB. The Committee’s goal is to select projects where our members are afforded the opportunity to impact our community in meaningful and challenging ways that can be measured. Please be aware that 92% of our membership is employed full or part time; therefore, volunteer opportunities geared towards evenings (after six o’clock) and weekends, or a concentrated time are often very popular.
Our volunteers are most impactful when the projects include:
evening opportunities (6-10 p.m.)
weekend opportunities
working with other volunteers
training opportunities
meaningful volunteer experiences
The Community Research Committee is available to provide assistance with your proposal. If you have questions, please reach out to Community Research Chair Megan Miller.
The Junior League of Birmingham is committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. We look forward to working with you and your agency.
