Junior Auxiliary of Columbus

Junior Auxiliary of Columbus is a volunteer organization committed to providing for the children in Lowndes County. For over 75 years, our members have devoted countless hours of service with a steadfast desire to support and encourage the children of our community.

JA of Columbus is part of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries, which is made up of nearly 100 chapters mainly throughout the southern United States. The organization was founded on the principles of helping children, with a strong emphasis on ensuring their basic human needs are being met. Junior Auxiliary of Columbus is proud to offer several projects that center around this core mission, as well as many others that focus on healthy lifestyles, anti-bullying and empowering children with disabilities. It is through the donations and support of our local community that JA of Columbus is able to provide these projects year after year in service to the children of Lowndes County.

During the 2023-2024 academic year, Junior Auxiliary of Columbus members turned in 11,444 hours of service to the children of our community. Our members work diligently each and every year to fulfill the national slogan of Junior Auxiliaries…”Caring Hearts. Helping Hands. Changing Lives.”
