The Junior League welcomes all women who value our Mission. We are committed to inclusive environments of diverse individuals, organizations, and communities.

Our membership votes annually on a slate of community projects to support. Projects generally aim to support and sustain improvements in five key areas of impact:

JLCW projects support between 5-10,000 Community members annually. Our program with greatest reach is the Westchester County Diaper Bank, founded by JLCW. Since inception, over two million diapers have been distributed to families experiencing need or economic insecurity.
