Our Local Impact 

The Junior League of Northwest Arkansas is committed to eliminating the possibility of domestic violence by ensuring those directly and indirectly impacted by domestic violence have the skills, training, and resources needed to heal and never re-enter, be exposed to, or trigger – and ultimately prevent – domestic violence or the cycle of abuse in their lifetime. As a league, we know domestic violence statistics are not dwindling.

We also know because of the Junior League of Northwest Arkansas, statistics are being shared, stories are being told and victims are stepping forward because of the conversations we are starting and dedicated to continuing. 

More conversations about domestic violence are happening in our community because of our work. The Junior League of Northwest Arkansas is a leader in these conversations.
