Welcome to the Junior League of Milwaukee!

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

- Margaret Mead

For 94 years, the Junior League of Milwaukee has been a force for positive change in our community. As a membership of 700 women living and working in the greater Milwaukee area, we remain passionate and dedicated to living out our mission to promote voluntarism, develop the potential of

women, and improve communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

Our organization continues to be recognized as a community leader and advocate for issues, such as domestic violence, child abuse prevention, foster care and women’s health. What makes the Junior League of Milwaukee what it is today is our countless hours of service doing what is absolutely needed and necessary. Our version of the Extreme Makeover, organizing blood drives, packing a backpack for a young child who is leaving a violent home situation, and raising money to start up organizations that are now widely known in Milwaukee, from the Children’s Health Education Center to the Blood Center of Wisconsin, Gilda’s Club of Southeastern Wisconsin and now, Kids Matter are the hallmarks of our longstanding history of service.

As individual members and together as an organization, we will continue to build on the successes of the last 93 years. We will also explore the ways in which our future Done in the Day projects and community commitments work to address our community’s greatest needs. We will do this by inviting input from community leaders and our members.

Our fundraisers, the Party of the Year on June 19th, our Holiday Boutique on November 13th and 14th, our Speakers Event in February 2010 and our Grand Garage Sale in the spring of 2010 will raise critical financial resources to support our ongoing commitment to young adults transitioning out of the foster care system, our Done in the Day projects in service to Milwaukee citizens, and training he next wave of community leaders who will support nonprofit organizations through direct service and in the board room.

As we begin this very exciting year, I invite you to “Celebrate the Junior League of Milwaukee’s History and Create the Future” with us.

With gratitude,
Merilou V. Gonzales
2009-10 JLM President
