The Junior League of South Bend, Inc. (JLSB) invites all eligible agencies to submit an application for League support. Your agency must be a 501(c)(3) organization that provides League volunteers with meaningful, high quality volunteer opportunities, including flexibility in the times available for volunteer work. JLSB looks for agency programs that will develop the potential of our women and empower them to make positive community change specifically in the areas of supporting youth and adolescent mental health, local women and their needs, and our senior citizen populations. The Junior League of South Bend, Inc. looks for these programs to have a measurable impact on your agency and the populations that you serve.

The League runs on a fiscal year of June through May and agency partnerships run during this same period.
