We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Longview

At the Junior League of Longview 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 to enrich our community by devoting our resources to positively impact the welfare of people in the East Texas area can be achieved by doing developing programs that are member-focused and centered around our community goals, educating and training members and the community about the League and our service, and expanding and developing collaborative partnerships with community organizations. So far we have done work in all of these areas to achieve this, and are working to make even more progress in the coming year.

Our goal is to help Longview 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 poverty gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.

We’re Transforming East Texas Communities By Challenging the Status Quo

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, The Junior League of Longview’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. We have identified poverty as the most pressing issue in our community right now, and we are helping local women take action to resolve it. So far this year, we have we have effectively shifted our model to a virtual platform to keep members engaged. Our annual fundraiser for operational support will now be a virtual race, and we are still on track to successfully provide over 2,000 backpacks to area students. We believe that these impactful actions have the power to bring us closer to our goal of improving the community.
