Junior League of Central Westchester Seeks to Honor Female High School Juniors

The Junior League of Central Westchester (JLCW) asks, “Do you know a female junior in your school who is making a difference? Is she a leader in school or in her community? Is she someone who cared enough about an issue to take a stand and make a difference?”
