Our Story

For over 80 years, the Junior League of Sacramento has been developing women to do a world of good in our region. Founded in 1942, our organization trains and empowers women volunteers who have originated and assisted nearly 100 local agencies including Children's Receiving Home of Sacramento, Fairytale Town, Crisis Nursery, Sacramento Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), and Sacramento Children's Museum.

The League’s mission is to improve our community while empowering women to become extraordinary leaders. Our all-volunteer membership commits thousands of collective hours annually, balancing careers, families, and other responsibilities while developing the skills, confidence, and connections to lead effectively in all areas of their lives.

The impact of this leadership development resonates far beyond our immediate work. League members have gone on to lead nonprofits, businesses, and civic initiatives, demonstrating how the skills gained through Junior League service translate to meaningful leadership across sectors.

Your donation helps make it possible for us to serve our Sacramento community while empowering women through volunteerism, partnerships, trainings, and other leadership development programs. We are grateful for your support!
