Mission

The Junior League of Topeka is an organization of women whose mission is to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training.

Empowering women, strengthening communities and improving lives since 1937.

For more than 80 years, Junior League members have confronted society’s most pressing issues and tackled its toughest problems, leaving a legacy of reform like no other.

But in a complex world, accelerating and advancing at a rapid pace, change is uncomfortable, conflicts are inevitable, and challenges are cyclical. Problems loom large. Leadership talent and funding are scarce.

To fight these battles, find solutions, and advocate for those in need, a renewable army of women empowered as agents of positive change is essential.

Preparing women to serve their communities is The Junior League’s mission. Because tomorrow there will be new issues and new challenges—and the women of The Junior League will continue to serve as the undeterred voices for action, justice and change.
