Mission

The Junior League of Monterey County, Inc. is an organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

The Big Idea

The Junior League of Monterey County, Inc. (JLMC) has been training volunteers for over 50 years and many members continue their work throughout Monterey County. Training volunteers to be leaders and advocates is one of our biggest accomplishments and central to our mission. We would like to dedicate financial resources to engage high quality, talented leadership experts that understand the Junior League model to help us grow our membership so we can continue to deploy skilled volunteers throughout our community. We are committed to the growth and empowerment of our members to the benefit of our organization and their personal/professional lives. This year we again focused on assisting Casa de Noche Buena which supports women and families on the Monterey peninsula. This coming year we are excited to expand our reach with other organizations in the county focusing on foster youth and support services.

I am grateful for the opportunities and training I've received through the Junior League of Monterey County. I joined the Junior League of Monterey County to develop my leadership skills, make an impact in our community, and be connected with a worldwide organization that is driven to make a meaningful difference. The opportunities to grow and contribute are endless as are meeting kind, welcoming, and amazing women who support the League's mission.
