The Association of Junior Leagues International is an organization of 294 Junior Leagues in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Junior Leagues are educational and charitable women's organizations aimed at helping their communities and improving their members through volunteerism. The first Junior League was founded by Mary Harriman in 1901 in New York CIty. Their first project was a settlement house. The league was soon emulated, and by 1921, 30 Leagues joined to form the national association.
There are currently 294 Leagues in Canada, the United States, Mexico and the UK. The first League outside the United States was in Montreal, Canada.
