The Junior League of Seattle is a network of empowered female civic leaders working with community partners to address and solve pressing issues like Early Childhood Literacy. We’re part of an international network of 291 Leagues comprised of over 140,000 women, in Canada, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S., engaged in similar work in their own communities. This provides us with a unique and powerful depth of knowledge and resourcefulness to bring about the changes we strive to accomplish.

ABOUT US

The Junior League of Seattle was established in 1923 and joined the Association of Junior Leagues International in 1924.  As an organization of over 1,200 members, JLS is one of the largest leagues on the West Coast.  Annually our members donate over 45,000 volunteer hours and participate in over 5,000 hours of personal and professional development. Our programs focus on promoting the well-being of women, children, and families throughout the greater Seattle community by addressing issues of children’s literacy and career skills for women.

Throughout its nearly 100-year history, JLS has successfully met the emerging needs of the community by initiating cutting edge programs and providing trained volunteers to manage and direct service projects, community education, fundraising and advocacy efforts. As a result of league training, JLS has also provided a legacy of leaders who bring knowledge and experience to the community in which they serve.
