IMPACT: JLBR Ready Hands provided thousands of hours of service to 40 community partners with various projects in the Baton Rouge area.

The Junior League of Baton Rouge is proud to offer our “Ready Hands” committee to lend a hand to your community event. Ready Hands is a committee formed by the Junior League of Baton Rouge, Inc. that reaches out to our local community by assisting non-profit organizations with their special events. We have trained volunteers ready to support your organization.

JLBR Ready Hands volunteers respond to and reach out to our local community by providing trained volunteers to assist non-profit organizations with their special events. Community is our business – The JLBR has been committed to serving our local community for 90 years and we welcome an opportunity to support your organization.
