We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Fort Wayne

At The Junior League of Fort Wayne, 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 eliminating food insecurity can be achieved by partnering with existing community partners and leveraging the resources of The Junior League of Fort Wayne. With our recent re-focus to reducing food insecurity, we are in the process of assembling a community advisory board to determine how we can make the largest impact in Fort Wayne with our available resources.

Our goal is to help Fort Wayne women 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 combating hunger gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout Fort Wayne

The Junior League of Fort Wayne 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 Fort Wayne. 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, The Junior League of Fort Wayne is making a big impact on Fort Wayne.

We’re Transforming Fort Wayne Communities By Challenging the Status Quo

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, The Junior League of Fort Wayne’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. We have identified food insecurity as the most pressing issue in our community right now, and we are in the process of helping local women take action to resolve it. So far this year, we have researched community advisory boards, and plan to activate one in the near future. We believe that by listening to our community and identifying the most pressing needs in Fort Wayne, that we have the power to bring us closer to our goal of eliminating food insecurity.
