About Us
Who We Are
The Junior League of Olympia is a group of roughly 200 dedicated women in the Olympia area who are linked together by a common desire to serve their community and develop their volunteer potential.

JLO is just one of more than 300 Junior Leagues across the United States and Canada that make up the Association of Junior Leagues International. The group began as a Junior Service League in 1987 and became a full-fledged Junior League by April 1993-- completing its membership requirements more quickly than any other league on record.
What We Do

Our Mission
The Junior League of Olympia (JLO) is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.  Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

Our Vision
The Junior League of Olympia is committed to developing healthy families through education, collaboration, and direct service.

Focus area: The prevention of child abuse and neglect.

JLO reaches out to women of all races, religions, and national origins who demonstrate an interest in and commitment to voluntarism. We encourage women over the age of 21 to join us.
