HISTORY

Since 1948, dynamic women have committed themselves to serving and improving the lives of women and children in Northern Pinellas County. Over 650 members have raised more than 1 million dollars and have contributed over 1 million volunteer hours since the inception of The Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin (JLCD).

In 1986, The Junior League of Clearwater and The Junior Service League of Dunedin merged, establishing The Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin. The League is comprised of passionate women from a multitude of professional and personal backgrounds who have united to make a difference in the lives of others. Our members also volunteer for many other non-profit organizations throughout the community in a variety of ways.

The Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin is affiliated with the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. (AJLI). AJLI is a non-profit organization that brings 294 Junior Leagues together across four countries. Our 170,000 diverse members are all united by their commitment to voluntarism. Committed to education, training, developing and diversifying their membership, the Junior League of Clearwater-Dunedin, Inc., encourages all women who demonstrate an interest and commitment to voluntarism to join our organization, regardless of race, religion or national origin.
