SIGNATURE FOCUS: AGING OUT OF FOSTER CARE Every year, hundreds of young adults age out of the foster care system without parental guidance to help them establish themselves and their futures. The Junior League of Sarasota is joining the fight to support and assist the youth of the foster care system in Sarasota County by creating an impactful program that will help them obtain the life skills and education necessary to become self-sufficient, live independently, and maintain employment. The League will identify areas we can make an impact, utilize our resources, and partner with community agencies to help these 13-22 year-olds with what they need to thrive.

OUR MISSION: The Junior League of Sarasota (JLS) is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. All proceeds from Tour of Homes helps to fund our charitable projects and initiatives to help families, women, and children in Sarasota. Our community needs your support more than ever as we are experiencing an unprecedented number of requests for help. JLS is on the front lines of the most critical needs within our community. The breadth of assistance and the number of people we help each year are constantly growing. JLS utilizes funds raised to partner with local non-profit organizations to develop and manage charitable projects, programs, services, and advocacy in areas where needs are unmet, and resources are limited.
