Message from the President

Since our founding in 1925, the Junior League of Houston has been committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

The League’s extensive training and education program cultivates a lifetime of civic service, preparing members to serve as advocates of change in Houston. League members are united by their interest in “Building A Better Community,” demonstrated by countless volunteer hours, extensive service on nonprofit boards and coalitions and a commitment to continue leading positive change for the Houston community.

The Junior League of Houston is proud to be approaching its 100th year of serving the Houston community with critical volunteer support and direct financial contributions to 32 community projects, through community assistance grants, innovative community collaborations and community outreach events.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the impact that Junior League members have on the Houston community, as well as the impact the Junior League of Houston has on its own members through its training and education efforts.

I encourage you to visit the Community Program section to learn about the services the League offers to the Community in both trained volunteers and financial resources. For example, non-profit agencies can apply for Community Assistance Grants or request League volunteers to serve at their agency on an ongoing basis or for special events.

The Junior League of Houston’s Tea Room is a beautiful setting for special events, as well as for everyday dining. I invite you to become a Tea Room patron member to explore all the Tea Room has to offer or to stop by our League building and purchase delicious items from The Pantry.

The Junior League creates change in our community through the tremendous dedication and service from close to 4,100 members and through the generosity and support of outstanding Community Partners, who elect to support the League’s mission through the gift of direct financial support.

The mission of the Junior League has never been more vital to our city. The Junior League of Houston continues to be an organization comprised of change makers, creators of solutions and those who are the first to step forward to face challenges. The reflection of our hard work can be seen throughout the landscape of our great city.

Thank you for your interest in The Junior League of Houston, Inc. We are incredibly thankful for your support. You help us “Build A Better Community” each and every day!

With Gratitude,

Amanda Hanks Bayles
President
