Conservation

Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! The purpose of the Conservation Department is to bring meaning to that oft-used phrase by helping to promote resource conservation, environmental awareness, recycling, and beautification within Collingswood. The Conservation Department Chair, Stephanie Woods, is responsible for coordinating all conservation activities and events. Some of which include maintaining the Children's Garden located in Knight Park (by the Gazebo) and coordinating the Junior's booth at Collingswood's Green Fest. Most recently, the Conservation Department initiated an Annual Kids Walk for Charity to benefit Knight Park.

Health & Home-Life

The Purpose of the Health & Home Life department is to ensure the well-being, both spritually and physically, of our community and club members. The Department Chair, Jenifer Cokl, is responsible for coordinating all Health & Home Life activites. Past and present activities incluce: Helping the American Red Cross get blood donors, volunteering at the Collingswood Manor Home monthly, and raising awareness of various health concerns at our monthly meetings. In this upcoming 2011-2012 year the Department is planing to conduct a healthy eating session targeted at kids in our community, as well as "Wellness Wednesdays," a weekly emailer for Club members that will include health & wellness facts and tips.

International Outreach & UNICEF

The International Outreach & Unicef Department focuses on providing aid to those in need wordwide, with a focus on the most vulnerable: women and children. Everyday countless women and children suffer from violence, disease and poverty. We realize how fortunate we are to live in our society and how so little to us can have a significant impact on the lives of others. We strive to make a difference through donations, awareness and education. Most recently, the club has raised money for the organization MADRE through a partnership with local store, Aenigma.

Public Issues

The Public Issues department has several goals. These include supporting our veterans and encouraging patriotism and community leadership. The Department's purpose is also to create a safe community. Past and present events that fall under the oversight of this department include our Club's annual 4th of July Bike Parade and a free "Fight Like a Girl" self-defense class. The Department Chair, Donna Shourds, is also a co-leader for local Girl Scout Troop 30113. Her department encourages a relationship between the Junior Women's Club and the Girl Scouts, providing the girls with role-models who teach them leadership in community service.

Public Relations

Getting word out about the many activities and events organized by the Junior's is a very integral part of the Club's success. To help accomplish that not-so-easy task, the Public Relations Department Chair, Donna Shourds, acts as a liason to What's On Collingswood, Collingswood's Patch, The Retrospect, and The Courier Post by preparing press releases promoting Club events.
