  • A one-one-one relationship with a caring adult
  • A healthy start and a healthy future
  • A chance to give back to peers and community
  • A safe place to learn and grow
  • A marketable skill to use upon graduation

JLR Impact
JLR has partnered with CIS Wake since 2001 to provide volunteer and financial support at its Heritage Park community learning center. Each year, approximately 20 League members volunteer at the learning center where they serve as tutors to support the development of literacy and other academic skills, provide meals to address food insecurity and build relationships with the students they serve.  JLR members plan an annual holiday shopping spree and other special events throughout the year to recognize students who have demonstrated academic achievement and personal growth.
