DIAD over view: This program enhances the Junior League of Jacksonville’s visibility, outreach, reputation, and impact in the community through Done-In-A-Day projects. As the project name implies, the Done in a Day program provides trained JLJ volunteers to support the short-term, one-day volunteer needs of community-based nonprofit organizations in the First Coast area. This year more than 30 local projects and events will receive help from trained Junior League volunteers.
In 2010-2011, JLJ members participated in Done in a Day projects with
- Susan G Komen Foundation
- Lea’s Place
- Community Hospice

- The Sulzbacher Center
- The Bridge of Northeast Florida
- Jacksonville Public Library
- Girls on the Run
- Children’s Home Society

Look for more posts to see all that JLJ with DIAD will accomplish in the New Year!!
