New Focus Area: Make your voice heard!

You have an opportunity to influence the direction of the Junior League of Portland. We are about to make a decision that will shape our future signature project and community programs. How? With the Focus Area vote at the General Membership Meeting on March 27th. By popular vote, we will decide between three emerging issues and adopt one as our new Focus Area. The three choices are:

• Money Management

• Food Insecurity and Hunger,

• Self Esteem for Young Women.

All areas are loaded with volunteer opportunities and present multiple unmet needs in our communities.
