Junior League of Oakland-East Bay

In an effort to allow the Junior League of Oakland-East Bay Inc. (JLOEB) the flexibility to react quickly to community needs that are much simpler and shorter in term than the standard community project, our League has developed our Community Impact Committee. We enlist JLOEB volunteers to help outside agencies that cannot provide their own staffing. The flexibility and the short-term nature of these Community Impact projects allow the League exposure to a rich variety of community agencies and volunteer experiences.

It is designed to tackle short-term community needs of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties which require volunteers for a single day. The Community Impact Committee of the Junior League of Oakland-East Bay, Inc. (JLOEB) supports community projects which require the assistance of volunteers. JLOEB will provide a volunteer base for a maximum time period of one day. We have the wonderful opportunity of utilizing JLOEB's greatest resource: our members to assist your agency with projects and events that you are unable to staff on your own. JLOEB will provide up to 25 volunteers total, for shifts of 3 hours, over a maximum of one day.

JLOEB is accepting applications from organizations interested in Community Impact volunteers. The deadline to submit an application for Community Impact is January 15, 2011.  Click here for the Community Impact Application.

Our 2010-2011 Community Impact Projects:

Eat Real Festival

Junior League of Oakland-East Bay volunteers helped stock glasses, stuff goody bags, pour wine and sell drink tickets at the Eat Real Festival in Jack London Square. Eat Real was founded in 2008 by a group of people who believe that delicious, convenient, affordable and sustainable food should be celebrated through an annual food festival.
