The Junior League of Bakersfield

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Leagues across the Association have been working hard to meet community needs. This National Volunteer Week (April... 18-24), we send a huge thank you to the amazing Members whose brave and selfless work is making an impact. Our work has not stopped, and with adjustments made for the safety of our Members, you are setting an inspiring example of the monumental importance of voluntarism in times of unrest. Thank you, Members! #JLBetterTogether #JuniorLeague #NationalVolunteerWeek See more

Look who stopped by the Junior League of Bakersfield for a visit! This is Lauren & Flat Stanley from Wisconsin. Flat Stanley is from a children’s book series where a bulletin board fell on Stanley and flatten him so now he can mail himself around the world and visit/learn about other locations. It’s typically a 2nd grade year project in the Midwest. We’re told Stanley was glad to escape cold snowy WI and visit warm sunny CA. We’re happy he’s out celebrating our love for literacy!

Today, we honor Equal Pay Day in the US. In the United States, all women earn on average $0.82 for every $1.00 all men earn. We encourage everyone to continue t...o promote equal pay for work of equal value as well as the economic empowerment of women and girls.

In the face of the continuous rise in violence and discrimination against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Community in the United States, The Ass...ociation of Junior Leagues International reaffirms our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, which condemns discrimination, racism and racial injustice. As a leading women’s civic leadership organization, we will continue to accelerate our efforts to eliminate racism and partner with organizations working to ensure that women not only gain equity and inclusion, but feel a sense of belonging in communities far and wide. #StopAAPIHate Read the full commitment here: https://bit.ly/AJLIDEICommitment2020

***EVENT CANCELLED*** Out of an abundance of caution and due to the surge in Covid-19 infections in Kern County along with the Governor’s announcement this week of a potential stay at home order, the Junior League of Bakersfield has decided to cancel our upcoming fundraiser, the Bakersfield Holiday Market, Saturday, December 5. Our plan was to host an open air event outside of our Community Center for our beloved local vendors and shoppers, but the community's health and safe...ty must be our first priority. We look forward to hosting a similar event when we can be together in person again. Yes, we are still accepting vendors for the Bakersfield Holiday Market! Do you or someone fabulous here in Kern County own a spectacular boutique you’d like showcased at our open air shopping extravaganza? Please reach out to us at [email protected] ASAP!
