Who We Are
Since 1919, our League members have served our city by effectively training volunteers, providing leadership, raising funds and developing programs and services that make our community a better place to live, work and raise a family. Since the League’s inception, our members have donated over $1.6 million dollars and more than 1.2 million volunteer hours to our community. League members research areas of need in the Omaha area and educate the membership and the community about those issues.

Time and time again, the Junior League is among the first organizations to step up to the plate and tackle a community’s biggest challenges.
