We are Junior League of Rhode Island

Above all else, our goal is to promote and perpetuate social change in the Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts communities that will benefit most from it. By empowering women and providing valuable leadership training, we are giving local women the tools to get involved, put their talents to work, and positively impact the communities of Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

Strength in Numbers

As one of hundreds of Junior League chapters across the world, we are a member of the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. (AJLI). Established in 1921, Junior League of Rhode Island plays an integral part in the development, improvement, and support of the communities of Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

While you’re here, we welcome you to learn how to join us, support our work, or get involved.

Our Local Impact

Right now, our primary focus is youth in and aging out of foster care. Our multi-faceted approach is making an impact. Youth aging out of the foster care system face distinct challenges, and the JLRI seeks to positively affect their intellectual, economic, social, mental, physical, and emotional well-being. The League will support efforts to ensure that these individuals have services and opportunities for educational attainment, employment, health
care, housing and financial stability. Additionally, the JLRI is committed to advocating for the welfare of all foster children and to educating its membership and greater community on this broader issue. If you’re interested in learning more about our current focus or developing your own civic leadership skills, we welcome you to  learn more or connect with us.

Help Us Lead Change

There is always more work to be done, more help needed, and more opportunities to make an impact in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. The empowered women of The Junior League of Rhode Island are working to improve our local communities through leadership and effective action. Will you join them?
