For almost 100 years, the Junior League of Little Rock has worked to improve our community through providing volunteers, funding, and leadership support. These efforts, concentrated within the following areas of impact, give direction to our organization:

• Nutrition and Wellness
• School Preparedness

What do we do?

We build better communities and develop trained volunteers.

The Junior League of Little Rock has been the driving force behind the kinds of initiatives and institutions that make our community a healthier, more vital place to live.The Junior League of Little Rock members, reflecting a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and professional pursuits work together to identify unmet needs, forge effective coalitions, and work for change. Time and time again, the League is among the first organizations to step up to the plate and tackle a community’s biggest challenges.

Did you know JLLR played a part in the formation of…?

• The Arkansas Arts Center

• Potluck
• Museum of Discovery
• Gaines House
• Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS)
• Senior Citizens Active Today (SCAT)

Over the years, the League has raised funds through follies, cookbooks, thrift shops and sales, race brunches, holiday markets and our membership dues. And, now, during this unprecedented year, we bring you Sleigh Bell Soiree: A Cyber Celebration.

When the state of the world changes, the League changes with it. This year we've provided community grants to nonprofit organizations meeting the needs of the Little Rock community during the COVID-19 pandemic, we've donated masks to be distributed to the public through the Arkansas Department of Health, we have provided our own members with masks, we've partnered with community organizations to provide books that feature minorities to stock Little Free Libraries and donate to the Little Rock School District, we pivoted our Nonprofit Board Institute to be fully virtual, and much more is to come.

We couldn't do what we do without the generous support of others. As you browse the items in our silent auction, please keep in mind that you're supporting an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. We've made great marks on the City of Little Rock and State of Arkansas over the last century and your generosity now will help us continue to improve the Little Rock community.
