General Information
The Junior League of Kingsport is an organization of women volunteers that has been serving our community for nearly 60 years. Our mission is not only to advocate for our disadvantaged neighbors through resources and talents but to train leaders from within. This is accomplished by working in various capacities within our organization. A member of League commits herself to work with a team of fellow members to participate in committees, cultivates ideas, develops action plans, implements strategies and executes projects. This requires creativity, dedication and commitment. Our ongoing mission is to train leaders who can utilize the valuable experience gained from League and apply that training to other organizations that our members become involved in throughout their lives.
The Junior League of Kingsport has had integral influence and contributed funds, woman-power and leadership in many programs and agencies that provide assistance to the families in our community. Throughout our history, our members have been part of the development and strategic planning teams for organizations that blanket many areas of need. Some of these include: The Children's Advocacy Center - an organization that provides help, hope and healing to child victims of all types of abuse; Mountain Speech and Hearing - an organization dedicated to providing the best evaluation, treatment and education for speech, hearing and swallowing disorders; FUNFEST - the community wide festival whose primary objective is to encourage harmony, fellowship, unity and cooperation among the community of greater Kingsport.
Each generation of Leaguers come with fresh ideas and solutions to meet the increasing needs that are prevalent in our community. The quality of our women volunteers continue to exceed expectations because of their individual strengths and wealth of experience. It is this collaborative effort of like-minded and passionate women throughout the years that has made the Junior League of Kingsport a relevant and longstanding organization in our area.
