You’ve likely seen their building while driving around Lake Morton, but have you ever wondered what the Junior League of Greater Lakeland is? Look no further, we’ve got the answer.
Founded in 1933, the Junior League of Greater Lakeland (JLGL) exists to bring women together from all walks of life to engage in meaningful educational and charity work, impacting 10,000+ Lakeland-area families annually. Some of the org’s most notable projects focus on clothing security and literacy — and we can’t forget its involvement with the iconic Lakeland Christmas Parade.
In addition to serving as a member and now president of the Junior League of Greater Lakeland, Angel Davis also previously served on the organization’s Community Advisory Board representing the City of Lakeland.

Each year, JLGL elects a new board of leaders to oversee and steer its affairs. Its newest president, Angel Davis, is also the org’s first Black president in its more than 90-year history.
