Junior Auxiliary is a national non-profit organization that encourages members to render charitable services, which are beneficial to the general public, with particular emphasis on children. Junior Auxiliary provides members with the opportunity to serve and to be a vital part of the community.

The Vicksburg chapter is dedicated to community improvement by meeting the needs of children, youth and families. The local organization supports the ideals symbolized by the five points of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries (NAJA) crown: charity, youth, health, community service and leadership.

Helping children and making a difference in their lives is the principle on which Junior Auxiliary was founded.
