We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in West St. Tammany

At Junior League of Greater Covington 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 helping young women can be achieved by our ongoing events such as Project Prom and Girls Health Day. So far we have put in hundreds of hours and raised thousands of dollars to achieve this, and are working to expand our reach.

Our goal is to help women in West St. Tammany 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 empowerment gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout Greater Covington

JLGC offers so much more than local volunteering opportunities! Our League of leaders creates real change by advancing social activism-focused projects that directly benefit the communities of Greater Covington. By giving women the tools to lead, educating them about their communities’ needs, and helping them put their unique brand of creativity and skill to work, JLGC is making a big impact on West St. Tammany.

We’re Transforming Covington Communities By Challenging the Status Quo

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, JLGC’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. We have identified women’s empowerment as the most pressing issue in our community right now, and we are helping local women take action to resolve it. So far this year, we have raised funds for several of our essential programs. We believe that these impactful actions have the power to bring us closer to our goal of increasing women’s empowerment.
