We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Manatee County 

At the Junior League Manatee, 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 is strengthening the health and well-being of children and families in Manatee County. So far, we have worked with Realize Bradenton to assist families at the Farmer’s market where, once a month, we work with children to create healthy meals while educating parents through the Kids in the Kitchen program.  

We are currently working on a new initiative that aims to provide nutritious snacks to students from low-income families, ensuring they have access to essential sustenance throughout the school day. 

Our chapter is also creating a scholarship program for local high school students who have demonstrated a passion and commitment to non-profit causes and community service. The aim is to support the next generation of leaders dedicated to solving social issues and strengthening our community through non-profit organizations. 

Our goal is to help the women of Manatee County develop civic leadership skills through the work they do, then put those talents to work in the communities that need it. Our current focus on food insecurity gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.  

 

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout Manatee County 

The Junior League of Manatee County offers so much more than local volunteering opportunities! Our League of leaders creates real change by advancing socially relevant projects that directly benefit the community. 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 we are making a big impact.
