Welcome to International Find the Good Day: A Celebration of Compassion, Community, and Positive Change!

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024

Now more than ever, the world needs greater optimism, positivity, and resilience. Optimism has been proven to positively impact our health, motivation, outcomes, and performance. There is a certain bravery that comes with a positive outlook, it’s much easier to have a negative attitude and give up. Join us every September in embracing the spirit of kindness and empowerment as we commemorate this special occasion that echoes the core values of the Junior Leagues across the world. Find the Good Day is not just a date on the calendar; it’s a movement that reflects the timeless spirit of Junior Leagues – a legacy of kindness, empowerment, and community transformation. Together, we aim to make a difference by embracing the power of unity, positive change, and finding the good.

**Review of Committee Find the Good Projects**

We took a moment to appreciate the incredible work our committees have done in finding the good within our community. The review of all the committee’s Find the Good projects showcased the dedication and impact of our members. It’s incredible to see how small acts of kindness can lead to significant positive change. Check out the slides below to see some of the impact.

**Empowerment Safari**

Our Empowerment Safari was a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Complete with safari themed foods, engaging table set-ups, fun connecting activities, it reminded us of the strength, potential, and fun that reside within each one of us. It was a reminder that together, we can overcome any obstacle and make a difference in the world.

**Diaper Drive**

Our Diaper Drive was a heartwarming initiative that helped stock our JLA Diaper Bank. This Diaper Bank will touch the lives of families in need. We remember that the smallest gestures of kindness, like providing essentials, can bring immense joy and relief to those facing challenging times.

**Find the Good in Yourself Intersectionality Activity**

In our Find the Good in Yourself Intersectionality Activity, we explored the richness and diversity of our membership. It was a celebration of our unique backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that make our League stronger and more inclusive.

At The Junior League, Find the Good Day isn’t just a date on the calendar; it’s a mindset, a call to action, and a reminder of the incredible impact we can have on our community. Thank you to all our members who made this event a resounding success, and let’s continue to find the good in ourselves, in our community, and in the world around us. Together, we can create a brighter, more hopeful future.
