Dental Sealant Program

Eau Claire County statistics indicate that 15% of children are living in poverty. These children have very limited access to dental care. In partnership with Healthy Smiles for Wisconsin; Seal a Smile Initiative, the City-County Health Department and the Eau Claire Region Dental Hygienists' Association, Junior League of Eau Claire, and Sacred Heart Hospital, dental sealants are placed on qualifying second graders in Eau Claire County.

The objectives of this program are to provide dental screening, place dental sealants, and educate parents and children about dental health to help prevent future disease.

The Junior League of Eau Claire (formerly Eau Claire Service League)

On February 5, 1991 the Eau Claire Service League voted to affiliate with the Association of Junior Leagues International and adopted the following mission: To promote voluntarism, to develop the potential of women, and to improve the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. After completing a two-year training and educational process, the Eau Claire Service League became the Junior League of Eau Claire. Membership is open to all women who are called to serve and are committed to the mission. New members are known as provisionals and participate in a provisional project. After the first year, provisionals become active members and choose a placement. Members are encouraged to be active for at least four years. Sustaining members are members who have completed their active service and elect to continue their affiliation with and support of the League. Active sustaining members have completed their active serve requirements and choose to retain their voting privileges.
