Juniorettes
2011-2012 State Juniorette Project
Wildlife Preservation/Endangered Animals/Animal Rescue
For the 2011-2012 Club year the community service project I selected
is a broad topic so that we could cover a lot of ground and not be
hindered. I chose a project that has to do with animals and protecting
them and their habitat. Animals have always been very near and dear to
my heart and I really do consider them "man’s best friend." I have a
soft spot for animals and I am very excited to have found fun, enjoyable
projects for us to all take part in.

State Juniorette Theme
“Embrace Your Wild Side”
Juniorettes, age 12 – 18, are the youngest members of GFWC Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs. The program for middle and high school girls offers fun, friendship and community service. The girls learn how to organize and operate their non-profit clubs with rewarding results. Many use their Juniorette service hours for scholarships and National Honor Society credits.
Juniorettes continue to grow throughout Florida. Each club must be sponsored by a general or junior club that provides an advisor/liaison and guidance. Each club has its own personality and determines what is most needed in its home community. All share the General Federation of Women’s Club’s (GFWC) Community Service Program guidelines offering activities in Arts, Conservation, Education, Home Life, International Outreach and Public Issues.
The girls have an annual convention called JASM (Juniorette Annual State Meeting) where they can build friendships and exchange ideas with Juniorettes across the state. Some clubs are still called Little Women, a term that preceded the state name Juniorettes.
Juniorettes also elect their own State Director and Officers who serve annual terms. Our 2011-2012 State Juniorette Director is Alexia (Lexi) Corbitt of the GFWC Little Women of Fernandina Beach Juniorettes.
Juniorettes are our future & besides that…they are just plain fun!
