Association of Junior Leagues International Inc.
Formed in 1921, the AJLI provides continuity and support, guidance and leadership development opportunities to Junior Leagues in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Through regional, national, and international meetings, comprehensive resources, customized consultations, League and member benefits, we add value to our member Leagues in their fulfillment of the Junior League Mission. The Association is rooted in the belief that a group of women can be a powerful force for change. The Junior Leagues offer women the opportunity to implement change in their communities and to connect with other women with a concern for present and future generations. AJLI develops and empowers women leaders to increase the impact that Junior Leagues make in their communities. The Junior League can be credited with implementing changes and improving conditions in almost every sector of our society.
Membership in the Junior League provides women with access to invaluable training from AJLI–from leadership and organizational development to community program work, diversity training and fundraising. Through this unique training, our members learn to manage and train volunteers, unite communities and form partnerships. AJLI organizes regular conferences and meetings to create opportunities for networking, collaboration and shared learning. AJLI headquarters are in New York City. The Association serves Junior Leagues in Mexico, Great Britain and across the United States and Canada. The AJLI is governed by a 19-member Board of Directors, all of whom are members of the Junior Leagues in their communities. The Board is accountable to the Leagues for the development of goals that enhance Leagues' ability to fulfill the Junior League Mission. The Association's New York City-based staff, under the leadership of the Executive Director, provide services to Leagues that support the established goals. Funding
