The Vision of the Junior League of San Jose is “Women Around the World as Catalysts for Lasting Community Change,” and we are dedicated to recognizing those who bring this vision to life through their exceptional work.

The Catalyst Award celebrates outstanding JLSJ Members who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership, commitment, and impact within their Councils and Committees. This monthly award is open to nominations from anyone within the League, and winners will be honored at our monthly General Membership Meetings (GMMs).
