How does
the Junior League help the community?
Members of the Junior League of Greater
New Britain are accomplished collaborators who build coalitions,
identify community needs, and develop effective and responsive
programs to serve those needs.
Some of the local organizations the
Junior League of Greater New Britain has collaborated with to address community needs are: Visiting Nurses, Hospice, Wheeler
Clinic, New Britain Youth Museum,
New Britain Public Library, Plainville Food Pantry, Pathways / Senderos, Diagnostic Breast Center at the Hospital of Central Connecticut's New Britain Campus, DCF and various city agencies in New Britain.
Over the years community needs have
been identified through member input, the use of community advisory
boards, and
through contacting
local agencies. Once a need has been identified the JLGNB works
with the agency/agencies to determine what the needs are and
how those needs can be met using financial support and volunteers
provided
by the Junior League.
