Non-Profit GrantUntil EOY 2025

The Portsmouth Service League (PSL) is a volunteer organization made up of young women who are involved in the betterment of the Southeastern Virginia community. PSL trains its members to be responsible civic leaders by educating and involving the members in a variety of local educational, civic, and volunteer opportunities. The group consists of women from many different backgrounds and with varied careers. Many members have lived in Portsmouth all of their lives, while many are newer to the area. Every member seeks to improve her community.

PSL gives back to the community in two specific and tangible ways:

PSL members dedicate many hours each year through direct volunteer activities in support of area non-profits.
Funds made available to us through our fundraising activities and through our wholly owned property, the Woman’s Club of Portsmouth, are available to support area non-profits.
