Improving Our Community

For the past eighty years, the Junior League of Williamsport has been improving the greater Williamsport community through its numerous outreach projects researched and executed by trained volunteers. Both independently and collaboratively, the League has been involved in projects in the areas of Health and Welfare, Social Services, Education, the Arts and Historical Preservation.

Cinderella's Closet

The League began Cinderella's Closet in 2008. This event collects and sells (for a nominal fee) new and gently used prom dresses and accessories for teenage girls to help offset the sometimes prohibitive cost of attending prom. The event allows girls of all economic backgrounds to shop and find that special dress and accessories at an affordable price. In 2010 more than 800 gowns were donated. Due to the sucess of the first year, the League has voted to continute this project through 2011.

Projects in a Day

This committee's mission is to respond to planned and impromptu requests from the community for trained volunteers to assist in facilitating community events that fall within the League's focus areas. League members participate in hands-on projects throughout Greater Williamsport. Examples of past projects include: Habitat for Humanity, Holiday Adopt-A-Family and Red Cross Blood Mobile, First Kids’ Friday, Soup & a Bowl and Victorian Christmas.

Members of the Junior League of Williamsport recently volunteered at St. Anthony's Center, where they served lunch as a Project in a Day for November.
