Throughout
its more than 70 year history, the Junior League of Oakland-East
Bay, Inc. (JLOEB) has focused its efforts on improving conditions
for vulnerable children throughout Oakland and the East Bay
area by collaborating with other community based organizations
and social service agencies to develop sustainable strategies
that address unmet community needs, providing resources to community
organizations, and dedicating volunteers to support project
development, implementation and outreach efforts.
The impact of over seven decades of Junior League voluntarism
can be seen and felt throughout the Bay Area community. To date,
the JLOEB has committed more than 7 million volunteer hours
and approximately $3 million to efforts aimed at improving the
lives of children and their families in Alameda and Contra Costa
Counties. The following are a few of the more than 150 direct
service projects that JLOEB has implemented since 1935: Junior
Center of Art and Science, Oakland (1940’s-1955); The Family
Stress Center, Concord (1977-1981); The Family Center at Children’s
Hospital Oakland (1985-1988); Teach for America, Oakland (1998-2001);
the award-winning Super Stars Literacy Program (2000-present).
These are real undertakings that focus on critical needs in
the East Bay area, and leave a lasting and positive impact on
the community.
As we move towards our 75th year of service, we invite you to
invest in our future and our programs. We believe in building
strong partnerships that foster the growth and well being of
our ever-changing community. The JLOEB is committed to shaping
the future and we believe in making what is thought to be the
impossible a reality.
