We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Greater Winter Haven 

At the Junior League of Greater Winter Haven, 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 of empowering women and supporting local families can be achieved by doing increasing leadership development, expanding volunteer opportunities, and building stronger partnerships with local organizations. So far we have increased community engagement through key projects like the Find the Good Day, Kids in the Kitchen and Stork Pile Initiative to achieve this, and are working to launch new initiatives that directly address the needs of women and children in Winter Haven.   

Our goal is to help Greater Winter Haven 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 community initiatives like Find the Good Day, the Stork Pile Initiative, and Kids in the Kitchen gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.
