Be the One Centennial Campaign
For a century, the Junior League of New Orleans (JLNO) has been a steadfast force for positive change in the greater New Orleans region, powered by dedicated, trained volunteers who serve, educate, and advocate for the well-being of our community. In our history, JLNO has created over thirty unique projects that have focused on children’s early education, reading, food scarcity, mental health, youth, criminal justice, the elderly, preservation, and many more.
At the heart of JLNO is the belief that empowering one woman can ignite a movement. By nurturing the leadership skills of a single volunteer, we lay the foundation for transformative community impact—driven by her vision, knowledge, and unwavering dedication.
One Woman. One Community. One Junior League of New Orleans.
To mark a century of service, the Junior League of New Orleans is launching our “Be the One” Campaign. We invite you to commemorate this milestone with our organization by contributing to a campaign that honors our legacy while investing in our future. Join us in building a fund that provides a lasting impact for generations of New Orleanians to come.
