Volunteerathon

The JLH Volunteer-a-Thon highlights what the Junior League of Hartford does best – leveraging our collective (wo)manpower to make a positive impact in our community. As part of this mission-based event, JLH members volunteer for 26.2 continuous hours while raising funds for future JLH programs and projects.

The 2024 Volunteer-a-Thon will take place on April 26-27. We will volunteer with organizations such as Journey Home, The Diaper Bank of Connecticut, FoodShare, Chrysalis Center and more while raising funds for the Junior League of Hartford Annual Fund. This fund supports the programs & projects of the Junior League of Hartford, including our grants to the Diaper Bank of Connecticut & Journey Home, as well the exclusive training opportunities provided to JLH members to become the Hartford area’s Civic Leaders.
