Administrative history
The Jewish Junior Welfare League was founded in 1926 by 26 young women who were dedicated to the ideal of community service. The league's objectives from the start were:
A. To train and educate its members as able volunteers.
B. To sustain by means of volunteer service and financial assistance a number of worthy projects needed by the community.
C. To keep members enlightened on all issues within the scope of the social, economic and cultural welfare of the community.
Projects over the years included volunteering in hospitals, schools & developing recreational programs for young and old, healthy and sick.
The league reached its zenith in the 1960s with a membership of 300. By the mid 1970s problems began to beset them. Their ranks became depleted as more and more women chose to go to work, and many of the needs the community they were fulfilling were taken over by government agencies.
The decision to disband was taken on June 19, 1984 at the League's annual meeting.
