We are the Junior League of Portland, OR.  

Above all else, our goal is to promote and perpetuate social change in the Portland area communities that will benefit most from it (remove?). By empowering women and providing valuable leadership training, we are giving local women the tools to get involved, put their talents to work, and positively impact the communities of the Portland Area

Since its founding in 1910, the Junior League of Portland has served the needs of the community while educating and developing volunteer leaders in the Portland area— over one hundred years dedicated to irreplaceable community programs and committed voluntarism. 

The Junior League has been the driving force behind the kinds of initiatives and institutions that make our community a healthier, more vital place to live. Junior League members, reflecting a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and professional pursuits, work together to identify unmet needs, forge effective coalitions, and work for change. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. 

Strength in Numbers

Our Local Impact
