The Junior League of Fort Worth (JLFW) is celebrating 95 years of dedicated service to the community. Established in 1929 and chartered in 1930, the Junior League of Fort Worth ranks among the top 10 leagues. With nearly 2,000 members, JLFW contributes over 50,000 volunteer hours annually to more than 50 community agencies.
The Junior League of Fort Worth has a few signature projects, including the Diaper Bank, Junior MINTS, and Paint a Playground. Additionally, through major fundraisers such as the Christmas in Cowtown Holiday Gift Market, Grand Entry Gala, ‘Yell & Sell’ Rodeo Program Sales, and the Annual Fund, the Junior League of Fort Worth will invest $1 million throughout 2024-2025 into the Fort Worth community.
The enduring success of the Junior League of Fort Worth is a testament to the dedication of both past and present Board of Directors. Leading nearly 2,000 women is no small feat, and the 2024-25 JLFW Board is ready for the challenge.
