Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.
Founded in 1926, the Junior League of Montgomery is one of over 290 leagues across 4 countries representing almost 150,000 women. The Montgomery league is composed of nearly 800 members who donate approximately 20,000 hours of volunteer services annually. The JLM reaches out to all women regardless of race, religion, color or national origin.
