The JLSA Experience

In 1924, eleven women organized the Junior League of San Antonio, Inc. (JLSA), with a vision of making a difference in the lives of women and children in San Antonio. 99 years later, the JLSA has contributed over a million hours to the community, which translates into approximately eighteen million dollars worth of volunteer hours and over seven million dollars invested into projects in the community. The JLSA has made its mark in San Antonio through a number of organizations and community projects.

The JLSA is a member of the Association of Junior Leagues, International (AJLI). Comprised of 292 Junior Leagues in four countries, AJLI has been providing support, guidance and leadership development opportunities to member Leagues since it was created in 1921. AJLI strives to unite all the Junior Leagues; provide continuity and support; and serve as a steward for the Junior League Movement. Today, through regional, national, and international meetings, comprehensive resources and customized consultations, the AJLI adds value to member Leagues in their fulfillment of the Junior League Mission.

Mission: The Junior League of San Antonio, Inc. is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

What We Do

The Junior League of San Antonio partners with dozens of other non-profit organizations by providing volunteers, grants, and other unique assistance. This allows our members an opportunity to work with multiple agencies serving many different areas of interest.

We offer training and education opportunities to our members that can be utilized in personal and professional development and growth.

We put on multiple fundraising events each year so that we can fund our programs and give back to our community.

Why Should I Join?

“The Junior League has always done wonderful things, but what has impressed me the most has been their ability to change focus with the times. Although the projects and the service to the community are fantastic, the JLSA does something even better – they develop and train first class volunteers and create wonderful lifelong friends.”

– Suzanne Goudge, Sustainer and Volunteer Extraordinaire, 2010
