Find the Good Day: A Celebration of Compassion, Community, and Positive Change!

Now more than ever, the world needs optimism, positivity, and resilience.  Celebrated each September, “Find the Good Day” is more than just a date—it’s a movement that reflects the timeless spirit of Junior Leagues – a legacy of kindness, empowerment, and community transformation. Join us in spreading positivity and making a meaningful difference in our local communities, including Summit, New Providence, Chatham, and Berkeley Heights.

What is Find the Good Day?

Created by the Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI), Find the Good Day is an annual event encouraging individuals, families, and organizations to unite as changemakers. It’s a day dedicated to spreading kindness, uplifting others, and inspiring hope through collective action.

Celebrate with Us

Join us in celebrating Find the Good Day as we continue the inspiring legacy of compassion that began over a century ago. “Find the Good Day” is an opportunity for individuals, families, and organizations to come together as changemakers, creating a ripple effect of positivity throughout the community. It’s a day to reflect on the goodness within ourselves and find inspiration in the acts of kindness we’ve witnessed and participated in throughout the year.

This year’s activities have passed, but we encourage you to continue to Find the Good throughout the year. Read below to learn how we celebrated in 2025 and keep an eye out for our 2026 celebration in September!

How JLS is Making a Difference

JLS is committed to making a difference in our local communities. Here are examples of how we get involved:
