About Our Members

Founded in 1929, the Junior League of Tucson is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

We're a group of women, 21 and older, interested in making Tucson a better place to live and learning to be effective community leaders. JLT is one of 292 Leagues across the country and around the world. We have high-powered professionals and stay-at-home moms...women just out of college and women with kids in college. We come from a variety of social and economic backgrounds and we have a wide range of personal values and political opinions. One thing we all share is a common commitment to community and a desire to make our mark on Tucson by being effective leaders and volunteers.
