Bright Blessings serves homeless and impoverished children in the Charlotte region. Junior League volunteers assist with special events at the homeless shelter such as hosting birthday parties, packing gift bags and literacy kits to support various programs, and assisting with deliveries of items as needed.
The JLC provides monthly support dedicated to facilitating enrichment programming with youth and family clients. The programming promotes youth and family bonding through literacy, STEM, creative arts, and health and wellness monthly initiatives.
The Charlotte Speech and Hearing Center (CHSC) was founded by the JLC in September 1967 as the first community speech and hearing center in North Carolina. JLC volunteers assist with the March Madness for Reading event by helping with setup, reading to small groups and handing out books for children to take home.
JLC provides support in the teacher supply warehouse packing and sorting items. These items are provided to teachers in the community through special events and a mobile supply store.
Digi-Bridge aspires to create a generation of well-equipped leaders by providing schools with digital classroom consulting. JLC supports Digi-Bridge Saturday STEM programs by assisting teachers with their curriculum for grades 2- 5, working to build student building and programming skills.
The JLC’s signature Done in a Day project assists community agencies by staffing a one- or two-day special event or filling a one-time need for extra volunteers.
