Current Community Projects

 

Junior League of Cleveland Scholarship Fund

The Junior League of Cleveland Scholarship Fund provides support for non-traditional women students seeking the opportunity to gain further education or career training. Awards of up to $5000 can be used for traditional expenses such as tuition as well as transportation costs, supplies, and child care.

 

Northeast Ohio Black Health Coalition – NEOBlack Health Coalition is a nonprofit with a vision to achieve health parity (equality) in the African American/Black population. Their purpose is to create equity in the African American community addressing the cumulative health impact of racial, economic, environmental and social justice inequities in education, employment, housing and health by working to educate, advocate for and empower the community. 

 

Immediate Impact (Done in a Day) – Immediate Impact projects are designed to provide League members with a wide variety of volunteer opportunities that do not require an extensive ongoing time commitment. This year, we will have volunteer opportunities with the Cleveland Foodbank and the Kids’ Book Bank. 

 

Advocacy

The Community Research and Development Committee (CRDC) is tasked with educating League Members and the community at large regarding issues surrounding our issue impact area and with supporting the advocacy efforts of The Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI). This year, our efforts will be focused on public health as our League’s signature initiative. More information about AJLI advocacy initiatives can be found at www.ajli.org.
