Junior League of Olympia

As one of hundreds of Junior League chapters across the world, we are a member of the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. (The Junior League ). The Olympia group began as a Junior Service League in 1987 and became a full-fledged Junior League by April 1993. Since 1987, the Junior League of Olympia plays an integral part in the development, improvement, and support of the communities of Olympia, Washington.

You can learn more about the league by attending our New Member Recruitment Event on August 22nd at the Lacey Community Center from 7:00-8:30PM.

Above all else, our goal is to promote and perpetuate social change in the Olympia area communities that will benefit most from it.
