We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in Harrisburg 

At the Junior League of Harrisburg we live in the moment. To us, that means adjusting our focus according to our community’s most pressing needs. Our work is always evolving, and that keeps us on our toes, striving for progress, and preparing to take on whatever comes next.  

Our current community goal of raising community awareness about local food insecurity issues can be achieved by doing educating ourselves and neighbors about the current needs in our community and advocating for change.  We are launching this initiative in the 2025-2026 league year and we are eager to get started in making a difference.  

Our goal is to help Harrisburg women develop civic leadership skills through the work they do, then put those talents to work in the communities that need it. Our current focus of food insecurity gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.  

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout the greater Harrisburg area. 

The Junior League of Harrisburgoffers so much more than local volunteering opportunities! Our League of leaders creates real change by advancing social activism-focused projects that directly benefit the communities of south central Pa. By giving women the tools to lead, educating them about their communities’ needs, and helping them put their unique brand of creativity and skill to work, the Junior League of Harrisburg is making a big impact on Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry counties.  

We’re Transforming South Central PA Communities By Challenging the Status Quo 

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, the Junior League of Harrisburg’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. We have identified food insecurity as the most pressing issue in our community right now, and we are helping local women take action to resolve it. We believe that these impactful actions have the power to bring us closer to our goal of raising awareness of the issues our neighbors face in getting healthy foods.
