Mission:
The Junior League of Owensboro is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. The Junior League reaches out to women of all races, religions, and national origins who demonstrate an interest in a commitment to voluntarism.
Vision:
The Junior League of Owensboro challenges women to greatness through volunteering, friendship, and commitment to improving our Owensboro-Daviess County community.
History:
In 1937, a group of women formed the “Cotillion Club” working to ensure Owensboro’s children and families had a voice among community developments. In 1974, that group joined the Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI) to further promote voluntarism, develop the potential of women, and to improve the local community through effective action and leadership of its trained volunteers.
Today, the Junior League of Owensboro is approximately 300 members strong and continues to meet many of the needs in our community through hands-on volunteer activities, financial contributions, and public awareness campaigns of issues that affect children and families in the Owensboro-Daviess County area.
