Remembering the Past
Over sixty years ago, thirty-six passionate women gathered together in the spirit of service to the Virginia Peninsula. In 1956, they received approval from the then Association of Junior Leagues of America to for the Junior League of Hampton Roads. Their influence helped create a strong program of community involvement, personal development, and lasting friendship.

Celebrating the Present
In May 2016, the JLHR kicked off its 60 year anniversary with a fabulous and festive banquet. There was great enthusiasm and excitement as incoming president, Jenn Devlin, encouraged the members to be “all in” as we serve our community another year. There has never been a better time to join our League!

Looking Forward
The JLHR constantly looks for new ways to aid the surrounding community. Our Community Research and Issue Development program seeks to learn more about the specific needs of the Peninsula, in addition to researching programs that would fill these needs. The JLHR also contributes to the community with Community Assistance Grants and Community Involvement Funds.

Let's Get WISE!
Continuing a 60-year legacy of service in our community, the Junior League of Hampton Roads is excited to lead the Women’s Initiative for Success and Empowerment (WISE), a program designed to empower women who are confronting economic uncertainty and adversity. The initiative’s mission is to fill gaps in education and services for women and children that will empower them to improve their lives and those of future generations. The JLHR’s goal is to fill needs that are not being met and to focus on projects that have sustainability and a lasting impact.
