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.
