Mission

The Junior League of Monterey County is an organization of women whose mission is to advance women's leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.

The Big Idea

The Junior League of Monterey County seeks to expand our impact through a comprehensive outreach strategy. This initiative includes digital transformation, enhanced recruitment efforts, a community awareness campaign, and leadership development programs. The strategy aligns with the League's mission to promote voluntarism, develop women's potential, and improve the community through effective action and leadership.

Key components include revamping the website, developing social media strategies, creating professional recruitment materials, hosting events, launching local media campaigns, and offering leadership training workshops. These efforts aim to increase visibility, attract new members, and strengthen the organization's capacity to serve Monterey County.

We expect this will help us increase active membership by 30% and double the volunteer hours contributed to the community within a year. This investment in the Junior League will catalyze positive change, touching countless lives and addressing pressing issues in Monterey County through expanded community service projects and partnerships.

When I joined JLMC, I knew I made the right decision. Why? I felt at home with its mission and the League’s excitement for the future, and its storied history in Monterey County. JLMC actively engages in the community and creates change for countless women, children, and families, as shown by our partnerships with Shuman Heart House and Casa de Noche Buena and Partnership for Children. I enjoy our panels like Women in Finance or Women in Health, which we co-host with the Carmel Women’s Club. These panels function as training for members and a learning opportunity for the community. - Tymeesa Rutledge, 2023-2024 New Member Class of JLMC
