Founded in 1953, the Lafayette Juniors is a nonprofit organization comprised of local women who come together to raise funds and offer service in support of other nonprofits that serve children, families and seniors in need throughout Contra Costa and the broader San Francisco Bay Area.
Over the past 25 years alone, the Lafayette Juniors – through the dedication of members and the generosity of partners, sponsors and participants – have raised over $1 Million for more than 50 Bay Area nonprofit groups. The Lafayette Juniors is also a proud member of the The General Federation of Women’s Clubs, an international women’s organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service.
Our diverse membership includes educators, stay-at-home mothers, executives, artists, attorneys, financial advisors and entrepreneurs. We leverage this breadth of talent and experience to make impactful contributions to our community and make lasting friendships while doing so!
