🌈 Happy Pride Month! The Junior League of Denver celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community and the progress made toward equality, while recognizing the work still needed to create inclusive and accepting spaces.

Together, we can foster stronger communities where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered. Let’s honor diversity, advocate for equity, and uplift one another this Pride Month.

📣 Calling all members! We need your help filling a Done in a Day opportunity with one of our valued community partners, Justice Necessary, THIS Saturday, June 6, from 9 am-12 pm.

Justice Necessary works to support and amplify the efforts of those on the front lines, helping ensure that every Coloradan has access to basic hygiene essentials.

During this volunteer shift, members will participate in a hands-on packing project, assembling essential supply kits such as:
✨ Period kits
✨ First aid kits
✨ Hygiene bundles
✨ Laundry sheet packs

These kits will be distributed to students and families across Colorado through school and community pantries where access to these items is limited.

This is a meaningful opportunity to make a direct impact in our community while serving alongside fellow members.

Your leadership, strength, and heart made a lasting impact on our organization and community. We are forever grateful for everything you’ve done this year. Thank you, Emily, for leading with grace, compassion, and determination. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💙

We’re hiring! 🎉
