Our Mission

We are an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

Our purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

We reach out to women of all races, religions and national origins who demonstrate an interest in and commitment to voluntarism.

Since 1933, the Junior League of Toledo has been training women by initiating such projects as the Ronald McDonald House of Northwest Ohio, YWCA Battered Women’s Shelter, Shots-4-Tots, CASA and the Docent Program at the Toledo Museum of Art. Throughout our eighty year history in Toledo, JLT has played a role in creating over one hundred successful projects that have had lasting impact in our community. 

As a women's volunteer training organization, we have long provided this region with women who strive to be leaders in addressing our community's unmet needs. Today, JLT continues to search for strong projects that have an impact on our community. more>
