Janette's Junior League of Scranton Fundraiser

As a member of The Junior League of Scranton I support the mission of developing women to do a world of good in the Scranton community. The Junior League believes that all people deserve the best quality of life, and I am committed to help with this goal. 

I joined the Junior League of Scranton in the Summer of 2019 at the suggestion of a colleague, because she knew I was looking for an outlet for my love of community service and leadership development.  The past 7 years have allowed me to grow both as an individual and as a community member.  The Junior League of Scranton's mission is to empower women to help others, and I have felt just that. This May I was the co-chair of the Health and Wellness Fair with Elizabeth McGowan and helped serve over 350 community members with 46 health and wellness vendors.  In addition, my students, and the Leahy PT and Medical Pro Bono Clinics at the University of Scranton also participated. As a JLS member I have participated in Touch a Truck, food drives, Kids in the Kitchens, meal deliveries, clothing sorting, and more.  Lastly, I have met a wonderful group of women who are committed to the leadership and supporting each other. I am excited to see the amazing work that is planned for years to come. With your donation we can continue to make a difference in Scranton!!

Your support helps JLS continue its mission of advancing women’s leadership and creating positive change through hands‑on service, collaboration, and training. Every contribution fuels programs that touch lives, build connections, and empower women to lead. Thank you for helping sustain the work that has inspired me, supported me, and connected me with a community I’m proud to be part of!
