Touch a Truck

The Junior League of Richmond hosted our fourth annual Touch a Truck event on Saturday, October 10, 2009 from 10 am to 2 pm at Short Pump Middle School. The event offered local children of all ages a unique opportunity to explore heavy machinery and meet the people who build, protect and serve the Richmond community. Thank you to all of our sponsors, members, and attendees for helping to make this event a huge success! 

Literacy Through Art Outreach

Literacy Through Art Outreach committee members serve as "ambassadors" for the Children's Museum of Richmond by identifying community links and coordinating workshops where Junior League volunteers can take the magic of the museum directly to community centers and schools in Metro Richmond.

Kids in the Kitchen

The Kids in the Kitchen committee works in conjunction with the league's new members to help families empower youth to make healthy lifestyle choices and help reverse the growth of childhood obesity and its associated health issues. This initiative engages kids in the preparation of healthy meals and educates them and their families regarding nutrition and healthy choices.

Our Community Involvement
