Let’s talk about an organization doing good in GVL. Junior League of Greenville (JLG) was founded in 1929 by 20 women with a shared goal to serve their community. 90 years later, the organization has contributed $3 million and countless volunteer hours to the community while expanding to 1,200 members.

Fitting with its mission to build a safe, healthy + nurturing community, JLG recently announced the addition of two new focus areas: fighting human trafficking + promoting economic mobility for women in the Upstate. They’ve partnered with Pendelton Place, The Family Effect, Jasmine Road and SWITCH in these new initiatives, which you can learn more about here.

In addition to these new focus areas, the organization has continued to offer programs like A Nearly New You to assist women with interview skills + attire, educational goals, safety and other resources to help them thrive.
