The Junior League of Sarasota has a long history of creating projects and programs to benefit our community.

2023- 2024 Applications are closed. Check back for 2024-2025

Community Projects:  Our Done-in-a-Day Committee provides hands-on service opportunities for our members by helping plan and coordinate selected community partner projects that serve Sarasota County.

Interested in hands-on help with a project that can be “done in a day” or done in a few hours? We’ll help plan, collect supplies, and provide volunteers to bring your project from dream to reality. Apply today!
