In communities throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Great Britain, the Junior League has been the driving force behind the kinds of initiatives and institutions that make communities healthier, more vital places to live: childhood immunization, family literacy, women’s shelters, children’s museums, historic preservation, leadership development and more.

The 193,000 members of the Junior League reflect a wide range of backgrounds, interests and professional pursuits. Working together, they identify unmet needs, forge effective coalitions and work for change. It takes courage and commitment. Time and again, the Junior League is among the first organizations to step up to a community’s biggest challenges. As one community leader put it, “Every time I work with the Junior League, I feel the Marines have landed".
