We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in DeKalb County

At the Junior League of DeKalb County 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 health equity, effective advocacy, leadership, and professional development can be achieved by doing training workshops, empowering women and young girls, and access to resources. So far we have done provided educational workshops, expanded access to wellness resources, and fostered partnerships with local organizations to support maternal health, mental wellness, general well-being, and young girls’ health to achieve this, and are working to  launch new initiatives, host more community-focused events, and advocate for policies that promote equitable access to care and resources.

Our goal is to help DeKalb County 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 Maternal Health, Mental Health, General Wellness and Young Girls Health gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.
