Junior Auxiliary of Columbus welcomes its incoming provisional class for the 2016-2017 year. This group of ladies will be trained for six months, as well as attend Chapter meetings and projects to determine if they wish to volunteer their time to their community through this organization for the next five years.
Junior Auxiliary is a national nonprofit organization that encourages members to render charitable services which are beneficial to the general public, with particular emphasis on children. Junior Auxiliary of Columbus was chartered by a group of caring, enthusiastic women in 1943 and continues to grow and thrive throughout Columbus. Volunteers work throughout the year on a variety of projects that focus on local children and families in need of assistance.
Junior Auxiliary of Columbus is a part of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries (NAJA), a nonprofit organization founded in 1941 with headquarters in Greenville. NAJA has more than 13,500 active, associate and life members in 101chapters in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas. The NAJA slogan is “Care Today — Character Tomorrow,” and when teamed with the current focus of the Association, Junior Auxiliary Chapters are working more than ever before to increase awareness of child health and welfare and how it affects their futures.
