Annually, more than 3,000 JLA-trained members provide more than 30,000 hours of direct volunteer service to more than 100 non-profit community-based agencies that share in our mission, vision, and values.

JLA partners with community agencies in 4 key ways:

• Volunteer Placement
  The JLA’s hallmark is our commitment to volunteerism. Our cadre of talented and trained volunteers provides hands-on assistance to qualifying partners to advance ongoing community programs addressing JLA focus areas. Since our beginning, our volunteers have contributed millions of dollars in-kind support.
• Done in A Day and Drives
  The JLA organize and manage community service days and meaningful events to quickly fulfill immediate and critical needs in our community.  To request for volunteers for your project, click here.

• Capacity Building
  JLA offers capacity building training throughout the year to partner agencies. The training series aims to equip nonprofit agencies with skills and competencies to meet their mission and strengthen partners’ abilities to have a positive impact on the communities they serve.

• Board Bank
  The JLA’s Board Bank program develops the potential of women by training them to be successful non-profit board members and by helping to match JLA members to community agencies seeking board members with the Atlanta metropolitan area. For more information, email boardbank@jlatlanta.org.

**Partner applications for the 2023-2024 League year will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. Placement applications for 2021-2022 are closed.
