Community Impact
Members of the Olathe Junior Service League (OJSL) have devoted themselves to making a difference in the lives of Olatheans through community service projects in need of volunteers, supplies, and financial assistance.
Since being founded in 1969, members of OJSL have looked for needs in the community that they can fill.
