We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now in the Treasure Valley 

At the Junior League of Boise 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 tackling food insecurity in the Treasure Valley is being achieved by doing exploring community partners and opportunities to bring food, resources, and awareness to those in the Treasure Valley. To date, we have created relationships with Idaho Food Bank, BUGS, BSU Food Pantry, Boise Farmers Market and City of Good. The Junior League of Boise is working on building food pantries with Idaho Food Bank, BSU Food Pantry, a Kids in the Kitchen program for lower income schools as well as donating time to Boise Farmers Market and City of Good. 

Our goal is to help Treasure Valley 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 Hunger and 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 Treasure Valley 

The Junior League of Boise offers 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 the Treasure Valley. 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 Boise is making a big impact on the Treasure Valley.  

 

We’re Transforming Treasure Valley Communities By Challenging the Status Quo 

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, the Junior League of Boise’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. We have identified Hunger and Food Insecurity as the most pressing issue in our community right now, and we are helping local women take action to resolve it. So far this year, we have created and established a Kids in the Kitchen program, targeting low-income families and raising hundreds of pounds of food for Idaho Food Bank and BSU Food Pantry. Collectively as a league, we have over 100 hours of volunteer time from our members. We believe that these impactful actions have the power to bring us closer to our goal of helping provide resources for our community partners to help supply the Treasure Valley with food, resources, and the ability to feed themselves and their families.
