Community Impact

Members give back to the community by participating in important volunteer efforts, with more than 30 organizations having benefited from the Junior League’s assistance through time volunteered and financial support. Your sponsorship makes a lasting and positive impact right here in Martin County.
 
Since 1992, we have made a tremendous impact on and investment in the community. Over the past 25+ years the League has positively impacted the local area focusing on community issues, at-risk children, the environment and nonprofit support. A few organizations we have had a major impact with are the Florida Oceanographic Society, Gertrude Walden Child Care Center, and PACE Center for Girls. We were also involved with the inception of the Children’s Museum of the Treasure Coast – one of the go-to local museums for children & families.
