Continuing a 55-year legacy of service in our community, the Junior League of Hampton Roads has partnered with the Riverside Health System Foundation to raise awareness of reproductive cancer and provide related support services for women in the seven communities it serves.
Known for co-founding the Virginia Living Museum along with the Warwick Rotary Club and for sponsoring the 'Hands-on for Kids’ gallery at the Peninsula Fine Arts Center, the League’s mission is to fill gaps in education and services for women and children and in so doing improve their lives and those of future generations.  “Our goal is to fill needs that aren’t being met and focus on projects that have sustainability and a lasting impact,” said Jennifer Kelsay, 2008-2009 League president.

Girls of Excellence
Through our continuing partnership with Sedgefield Elementary School, JLHR hosts events during the school year for 5th Grade girls. These events focus on life skills, citizenship, Kids in the Kitchen...for healthy eating, and culminate with a cotillion at the end of the school year.
