At our latest Junior League of Toronto General Membership Meeting, we explored this question with Sheliza Jamal, Founder of Curated Leadership, in an inspiring fireside chat moderated by JLT Management Team member Tiffany Tan.

From navigating AI with confidence to recognizing bias and protecting privacy, one message stood out: Women shouldn't just use AI. We should help shape its future. ✨

As technology evolves, our human strengths — empathy, creativity, critical thinking, and connection — matter more than ever.

Thank you, Sheliza, for reminding us to embrace AI with curiosity, confidence, and care!

💬 How are you embracing AI while staying human?

On October 23, JLT members volunteered at Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (PARC), one of our 2026 seed grant recipients. The members helped sort shoes, pet food, and menstrual products while learning lots from the helpful and passionate staff. A highlight was Patrick, a social worker who was once unhoused and struggling with addiction, who now dedicates his time to helping those who face similar struggles. An inspiring person and an inspiring day! We are lucky to have been a part of the experience.

Last week, JLT members spent a wonderful evening attending an Angela Duckworth speaking event at the Rotman School of Management. Such an inspiring conversation about grit, perseverance, and the power of passion and determination.

One member said: "So grateful to be part of an organization that brings us together for experiences like this. And what a special treat — we all received a signed copy of her book, Grit!" 📚✨

The JLT was pleased to be part of the 2026 Leadership Forum, hosted by Fora, where we had the opportunity to meet with incredible young leaders and speak to the complementary leadership opportunities for service that the JLT can provide.

Through renowned leadership training, advocacy and community-building initiative, Fora helps young trailblazers gain new skills, confidence, supportive networks and opportunities to lead gender equity movements, advance career trajectories and change the status quo.

The JLT’s mission to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact is aligned with Fora’s mandate. We are thrilled to continue this partnership with such an impactful organization.

One of the benefits of membership in the Junior League of Toronto is the opportunity for emerging leaders to attend conferences hosted by the Association of Junior Leagues International. Two JLT members recently attended the EDGE Leadership Conference in San Antonio, TX.

These conferences offer a wonderful occasion to meet like-minded women, all volunteering their time and expertise to improve their communities. Together they learn strategies to improve our programs and make a bigger local impact.

Conference attendance conferences provides an opportunity to meet many dynamic women from Junior League chapters across North America and to share their Leagues’ successes, discuss and solve challenges, and exchange best practices.

On September 23, the JLT held its AGM, featuring an inspiring presentation from WoodGreen about the Homeward Bound program and the amazing work they do supporting vulnerable women and families in our community. Looking forward to an amazing year of women's leadership in action.
