JLRV partners with community agencies in three key ways:

• Volunteer Placement
  The JLRV’s hallmark is our commitment to volunteerism. Our cadre of talented and trained volunteers provides hands-on assistance to approved partners to advance ongoing community programs addressing JLRV focus areas. Since our beginning, our volunteers have contributed millions of dollars in-kind support.
• Volunteer Opportunities and Drives
  The JLRV organizes and manages community volunteer opportunities and meaningful drives to fulfill critical needs in our community.

• Board Bank
  The JLRVs leadership programs develop the potential of women by training them to be successful non-profit board members and by helping to match JLRV members to community agencies seeking board members with the greater Roanoke Valley. For more information, email info@jlrv.org.
