The Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Club raises funds to support local philanthropies that help meet often overlooked and under-served critical needs in the South Bay community with crisis intervention, prevention, and support. We also award scholarships to worthy, local graduating high school seniors entering their first year of college or university. Philanthropies are selected after a thorough investigation of their financial need and community impact.  Focus is placed on groups that address the needs of women and children in crisis.  Philanthropies are selected each year by vote of the General Membership at the November General Meeting.
