The Junior League of Durham and Orange Counties is an organization of women whose Mission is to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration and training. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. We are proud to share our time and engagement with partners throughout our community.

Above all else, our goal is to promote and perpetuate social change in the Durham, Chapel Hill, and surrounding communities that will benefit most from it. By empowering women and providing valuable leadership training, we are giving local women the tools to get involved, put their talents to work, and positively impact our communities.

As a nonprofit organization, the Junior League has routine operating expenses. Additionally, your donation will support women’s leadership trainings and professional development opportunities.

While donations first support the Junior League, we are committed to providing as much financial support to our local community partners as possible. In recent years, the Junior League of Durham and Orange Counties has provided grant funding to the Diaper Bank of North Carolina, Root Causes and Welcome Baby.

Right now, our primary focus of Healthy Living requires immediate action, and our multi-faceted approach is making an impact. If you’re interested in learning more about our current focus or developing your own civic leadership skills, we welcome you to learn more or connect with us.

There is always more work to be done, more help needed, and more opportunities to make an impact in Durham and Orange Counties. The empowered women of JLDOC are working to improve our local communities through leadership and effective action. Will you join them?
