Welcome to The Junior League of Rhode Island! It is with great enthusiasm that I share with you Women Building Better Communities. The Junior League of Rhode Island has been promoting voluntarism in our community for 87 years. Since 1921, more than 16,000 Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts women have participated as members. More than 2.2 million hours of volunteer community service have been contributed, valued at more than $40 million, and The Junior League of Rhode Island has contributed more than $1.5 million to more than 250 community partners statewide. We are thrilled to be heading into our second year partnering with The Rhode Island Community Food Bank - Women Ending Hunger Campaign, and with Children's Friend and Service - Supporting Literacy for Young Children Campaign. The Junior League of Rhode Island is one of 293 chapters across four countries, involving 170,000 women committed to improving communities through the effective action and leadership of our trained volunteers! The Junior League movement began in 1901 with the mission to develop the potential of women and improve and strengthen our local communities. This makes Junior League volunteers an incredible and invaluable resource. Our members continually engage the community-at-large by taking their Junior League training and serving other non-profit and professional organizations. I am confident that there is a Junior League member at an organization close to you! I hope you will join us on December 12th and 13th for our annual fundraiser Seaside Holiday House Tour and Marketplace in beautiful Narragansett, Rhode Island. Stay-tuned for more details! Please review our website for more information on our activities, community service, and about joining our organization. Thanks for your support! Mary Catharine "MC" H.
