From the site: «The NYJL offers many rewarding volunteer opportunities. Volunteers can dedicate their time to outreach, education and mentoring experiences in the community or fundraising, volunteer training and development, or communications efforts, which support the NYJL’s community impact. NYJL volunteers address critical needs of women and young families, seek to prevent domestic violence and assist its survivors, and provide cultural opportunities for the city’s youth and seniors. Volunteers also support the community initiatives in a wide range of opportunities in fundraising and development, volunteer training and communications. Joining the NYJL provides opportunities for volunteers to impact their community in a meaningful way, to benefit from training in a variety of educational and leadership programs, and foster life-long friendships and professional relationships with fellow volunteers and members of the community in which they serve.» I recently joined the Junior League and have found it to be a great experience. There are many different committees to chose from and the volunteer opportunities can fit in your schedule very easily. The junior league is a great way to network with extremely successful women in New York and the events are fabulous! Check the website for membership orientation dates!
