Local Teams, Mpacting Dreams

The Junior League of Austin is a diverse group of dedicated women working to make Austin a better place. The Junior League of Austin is a non-profit organization formed in 1934 committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving our community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.
The Junior League of Austin's members serve as trained volunteers at League Signature Impact projects and through Community Project partnerships with 29 non-profit agencies and programs throughout the Austin area. JLA volunteers support initiatives to enhance education, health and well-being, safety and crisis intervention, the arts, and the environment. Each dollar raised by The Junior League of Austin is tripled in value by our volunteers' time. In fact, this year alone we will invest more than $780,000 and 100,000 volunteer hours in improving our community.

In concert with the Del Valle School District, The Junior League of Austin supplies backpacks full of nutritious food and beverages designed to help sustain a child's nutrition at times not served by the National School Lunch Program. Your donation will support our efforts to fill approximately 50,000 backpacks this school year, and help alleviate childhood hunger in our community. One hundred percent of your donation will go directly to program support for FIT.
