Since our inception in 1923, The Junior League of Minneapolis has worked to fulfill our mission of advancing women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration and training. From supporting arts and education to helping at-risk children to encouraging women in leadership, JLM has created and participated in a wide variety of projects throughout our history.

In 2025, JLM membership adopted Supporting Families and Caregivers as the focus area around which we anchor our community volunteer and advocacy efforts.

From 2011 – 2025, our community volunteer and advocacy efforts centered on the opportunity gap. JLM projects and services during this time frame pursued addressing many of the underlying causes of the opportunity gap that hinder the learning process for area students – particularly promoting literacy and a love of lifelong learning.
