Power of Purpose: 125 Years of the New York Junior League

For 125 years, the New York Junior League has stood at the heart of New York City's philanthropic life — empowering women, transforming neighborhoods, and advancing opportunity through the enduring power of volunteer action. To honor this remarkable legacy, we have created Power of Purpose: 125 Years of the New York Junior League: a lavish, 300+ page pictorial commemorative volume that traces our journey from our groundbreaking origins. The book outlines our extraordinary heritage, from the pioneering, outreach-minded women who worked shoulder-to-shoulder in service to low-income New Yorkers, to the dynamic programs and partnerships defining community impact today. The mission has never wavered. Only the reach has grown.
