In spring 2023, LJWC partnered with the Lemont Park District to purchase a scoreboard for $15,180 to be installed at the North Baseball Field located at the Lemont Park District Centennial Park Quad.

In 2022-23, LJWC organized monthly wellness talks which were hosted at the Lemont Public Library and Old Quarry Middle School.  These talks educated the community on various mental health topics.  On February 25th, 2023, the club organized its first ever Wellness Symposium, held at Old Quarry Middle School, which presented wellness topics to over 150 attendees from the community.

In 2017, the Lemont Junior Woman’s Club partnered with the Lemont Park District to fundraise $30,000 ($10,000 each year for three years) to build an all-inclusive playground at Centennial Park.  The playground was designed to be accessible to children of all ages and abilities and was completed in October 2021. 

Lemont -Bromberek School District 113A's Oakwood Elementary School received a $10,000 grant from LJWC in 2018 to create a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Lab to be used by primary students at the school.

Since 1999, Lemont Township has committed itself to preserving open space for the community to enjoy existing natural landscapes. Thanks to a successful referendum in 2001, officials were able to acquire 109 acres of land, 59 of which were developed into the Heritage Woodland Sanctuary. Vistors can walk the trails and enjoy the view of over 100 species of native plant and wildlife.

In 2015 the LJWC decided to make the 59 Acre Heritage Woodland Sanctuary its Community Service Project and began a 3 year partnership with the Lemont Township. The LJWC’s goal was to bring awareness to the Sanctuary.  This was done by:

1.)  Outdoor Classroom – LJWC collaborated with the Lemont Township, the Open Space Committee, and Steve Fejedelum, the contractor of the outdoor classroom.  The outdoor classroom is a place where the community can gather to learn about the natural habitat of Lemont.  It is also a local destination for our schools to benefit from the educational programs through exploration.

2.)  Outdoor Signage and Trail map designs – the Sanctuary had no real signage to mark the trails for hikers. The Township partnered with Brian Zielinski to design a trail map, and VanBruggen Signs to post signage throughout the trails.

3.)  LJWC Education Trail – The mission for this trail path is education. This area is heavily concentrated with native plants that you will find throughout the sanctuary. This is great for teachers to show their students many different types of plants in a small area. The students will then be able to know what plants to look for as they explore the trails in the sanctuary.

The first “safety” classes were held in Oakwood School – LJWC volunteers coordinated the registration along with programming in preventing and escaping abduction, self defense classes,”safe sitter” classes, and adult CPR.

Beginning with Terese Thompson's vision in 1996, follwed by several years of planning and fundraising, the Safety Village was constructed in 2001 on a 1-acre parcel east of Stephen Street and north of the Illinois and Michigan Canal.

Using donated materials and labor, the safety village was built to look like a miniature village with streets, sidewalks, traffic control devices and railroad crossings. The controlled environment of the village allowed children to learn and practice life-safety skills.

The Safety Village building was built with two classrooms in which to also host safety courses for chilrden, adults, and seniors.

The Safety Village was maintained by LJWC for many years and then the building and programming was turned over to the Lemont Park District.  Currently, SEASPAR uses the building for their classes on a daily basis, and a children's safety course is still hosted at Safety Village every summer.
