The Junior League of Pelham’s Sustainability Project aims to strengthen community knowledge, connections, and action in support of environmental sustainability and climate resilience in the Pelhams. The JLP Sustainability Project focuses on: 

• Mainstreaming sustainability within JLP’s own processes and events.  The JLP Sustainability Project is working to raise JLP members’ own awareness about what we can do to support sustainability and climate resilience in our own lives and within JLP’s processes and event planning.  Stay tuned for a JLP user-friendly guide that can be used to plan your own sustainable meeting/ event/ party!
• Convening community by bringing together individuals, community organizations, the PUFSD and local government to deepen discussion and action on environmental sustainability and climate resilience. As a follow-up to the 2022 JLP Community Roundtable on Environmental Sustainability and Climate Resilience, JLP is organizing discussions across individuals, community organizations, the PUFSD and local government.
