2016 Celebration of ServiceSponsorship Opportunities

Since 1958, the Junior League of Northern Virginia has been a driving force in our community by promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. We have nearly 450 members, women from all industries and diverse backgrounds who share a commitment to service and to our community. From emerging leaders to established community leaders, our members are catalysts for change in Northern Virginia.

We invite you to become a sponsor for this year’s Celebration of Service awards luncheon on May 7 at 11:30 a.m., at Maggiano's at Tysons Galleria. At this year’s Celebration of Service we will honor League members and community leaders for outstanding service to our community. Our 2016 Woman of Vision, Linda Mathes, Chief Executive Officer, American Red Cross in the National Capital Region, will deliver the keynote address.Ms. Mathes was recently named one ofWashingtonianMagazine's "100 Most Powerful Women," and has received numerous awardsand recognitions for her leadership and contributions to the community.

Your support of Celebration of Service will help us foster the development of women who build better communities through hands-on leadership training opportunities and empower children and families to make healthy eating and active living a priority.

"When I joined the Junior League of Northern Virginia, I found that the leadership training was the most valuable. As I became more involved with the League it reawakened me to the lack of growth women as a whole have seen in leadership positions in the past twenty years. So I decided that running for office, and modeling the way, was a necessary step for me. That decision prompted me to ask to serve as President for the League, so that I could continue to work on skill sets, like public speaking and community engagement, that I would need if I were to run. I credit the Junior League for giving me not only the connections I needed to get started, but the confidence to run not just a campaign… a campaign I was proud of.”

---Candice Bennett, Past President, Junior League of Northern Virginia

Community Initiatives

The Junior League of Northern Virginia (JLNV) isan organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

Our community initiatives are focused on increasing the number of elementary age children in low-income communities who are empowered to make healthy eating and active living a priority. We do this by introducing children and their parents to where food comes from and to basic concepts of nutrition and healthy eating, and by supporting access to healthy food options and physical activity opportunities.

Childhood obesity has broad health consequences for children and families, and affects 1 in 5 children in Northern Virginia. By promoting nutrition and physical activity education, which is proven to enrich health, well-being, and academic outcomes, we are preparing children for success through our community initiatives, which include:

Market Explorers

The JLNV’s Market Explorers program at local farmers markets introduces children to where their food comes from through engaging activities such as market tours and scavenger hunts, physical activity, and healthy snack preparation. Market Explorers was featured last fall in a Washington Post article:

Kids in the Kitchen

Kids in the Kitchen is a nutrition education initiative from the Association of Junior Leagues International designed to help communities address the urgent issues surrounding childhood obesity and poor nutrition. Kids in the Kitchen delivers evidence-based nutrition education programming designed by JLNV and held in partnership with low-income housing communities, health centers, and community centers to educate families about healthy eating through nutrition lessons and hands-on cooking demos.

Annual Spring Health Fair at Mosaic District

Since 2010 the JLNV’s Kids in the Kitchen Spring Health Fair has been our largest community event, serving hundreds of children and their families. The Spring Health Fair features activities and educational booths hosted by local government agencies, non-profits and businesses that share our goal of promoting healthy eating and active living. Our Kids in the Kitchen interactive booth introduces families to basic concepts of nutrition and healthy eating through hands on demonstrations at the Spring Health Fair and other community events

Food Access & Community Gardens

JLNV supports community gardens, school gardens, and Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture’s Farm Camp. The JLNV’s support at Arcadia includes preparing the garden for camp and providing scholarships for low-income children through our Community Grants program. Campers discover where their food comes from through hands-on farming, cooking, and eating experiences.

Physical Activity & Swim Camp

The JLNV’sPhysical Activity Committee organizes and hosts Family Fitness Nights and physical activity programs in elementary schools, community centers, and after-school programs. The JLNV’sSwim Camp, which is held in partnership with Arlington Parks and Rec and Bridges to Independence (formerly AACH), is another of the JLNV’s physical activity programs and is held in summer and winter and offers children living in shelters swimming lessons and the opportunity to learn about water while having fun in a safe environment.

Community Impact Committee

The JLNV’s Community Impact Committee organizes short-term, hyper-local projects to benefit the Northern Virginia community. Projects include assembling bagged meals and organizing food drives as well as Done in a Day projects in support of our partners.

JamPacks

For 22 years, the JLNV’s JamPacksprogram has provided low-income children high-quality backpacks with school supplies, and most recently items like water bottles and pedometers to encourage active living. Every summer the JLNV partners with local health centers or food banks to distribute JamPacks.

Community Grants

The JLNV’s community grants support programs that promote healthy eating and active living. Recent projects supported by the grants include scholarships for low-income children to participate in Arcadia’s Farm Camp, as well as volunteer support for the programs. Applications are due in the fall and awarded in the spring. Learn more about the grant opportunity at
