ABOUT THE
JUNIOR LEAGUE OF SAN FRANCISCO
The Junior League of San Francisco ("JLSF") is a 98 year old San Francisco
charity. It's mission is to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of
women and improve our local community through the effective action of
trained volunteers. The JLSF serves as both a training ground for women
who are interested in becoming effective leaders in their community and as
source of financial aid, volunteers and advocacy support for other
charities in the Bay Area (for example, La Casa de Las Madres (helps women
and children who are victims of domestic violence), Compass Community
Services (helps homeless and extremely low-income families with children
in SF), The Homeless Prenatal Program (provides prenatal and parental
education to homeless mothers), International Rescue Committee (helps
refugees and asylees resettle here in the States) and The Ronald McDonald
House (supports the needs of families of critically ill children)).
Currently, the JLSF is dedicated to providing direct service, advocacy,
and funding to help Bay Area families in need, because the JLSF believes
that healthy families are critical to the well-being of our local San
Francisco Bay Area community and economy -- healthy, safe children learn
better, and an educated workforce is essential to retaining a dynamic and
innovative corporate base and maintaining our leading position at the
forefront of a global, knowledge-based economy. To learn more about
