We’re Focused on What Matters Most Right Now

At the Junior League of Norman, we live in the moment. To us, that means adjusting our focus according to our community’s most pressing needs. Our work is always evolving, and that keeps us on our toes, striving for progress, and preparing to take on whatever comes next.  

Our current community goal of reducing obstacles and increasing opportunities for vulnerable children and youth can be achieved by donating our volunteer time to our flagship Baby Steps project and by working to identify a new community focus project that meets an unmet need in Norman. So far, we maintain the Baby Steps house near Norman High School to achieve this goal, and are working to survey the Norman community to identify what needs the Junior League of Norman is best situated to meet.  

Our goal is to help Cleveland County women develop civic leadership skills through the work they do, then put those talents to work in the communities that need it. Our current focus of reducing obstacles and increasing opportunities for vulnerable children and youth gives women opportunities to grow, while positively impacting the communities where they live and work.  

We’re Creating Fulfilling Leadership Opportunities Throughout Cleveland County 

The Junior League of Norman offers so much more than local volunteering opportunities! Our League of leaders creates real change by advancing social activism-focused projects that directly benefit the communities of Cleveland County. By giving women the tools to lead, educating them about their communities’ needs, and helping them put their unique brand of creativity and skill to work, the Junior League of Norman is making a big impact on Cleveland County.  

We’re Transforming Cleveland County Communities By Challenging the Status Quo 

No matter what we’re currently focusing on, the Junior League of Norman’s work centers around improving our local communities through effective action and leadership. Our League is in a transition phase and we are actively working to identify a new focus as the most pressing issue in our community right now; once we do, we will help local women take action to resolve it. So far this year, we have supported teen parents and their babies during the school year and have distributed thousands of tons of food for middle school students experiencing food insecurity. We believe that these impactful actions have the power to bring us closer to our goal of reducing obstacles and increasing opportunities for vulnerable children and youth.
