woman capable of leading
her community and of

tackling society’s thorniest

social, cultural and political
fabric of our civil society;
The Junior League.
Mission & Vision
The Junior League 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.
[ vision ]
The Junior League: Women Around the World
as Catalysts for Lasting Community Change.
Who are the Women
of the JLEFC?
Junior League women are highly motivated,
educated, influential individuals who transform
their communities through advocacy, direct
service, public education, fundraising and hard
work on the front lines of modern society’s
toughest problems. With comprehensive training,
vast networks, and a collaborative approach
to designing solutions, they step in where
government or social services agencies are not
fully meeting a community’s needs, whether for
lack of resources, knowledge or funding.
Welcome
to The Junior League
of Eastern Fairfield County
In 1901, when 19-year-old Mary Harriman founded the first Junior League in New York City,
she envisioned an organization where women could volunteer their time, develop their skills
and improve the lives of those in their communities. One hundred and fourteen years later,
Junior Leagues in 291 communities throughout Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the
United States continue to provide opportunities for women who are committed to honing their
leadership skills by tackling the issues that confront their communities.
The Junior League of Eastern Fairfield County (JLEFC) was founded in 1920 by 47 women
committed to improving the lives of those in greatest need in the Greater Bridgeport area. We
have demonstrated that commitment for 95 years, creating a legacy and tradition that I know
will continue for the next 95 years. The 300 women of the JLEFC are driven by our mission of
Promoting voluntarism, Developing the Potential of Women and Improving our Community.
We have the distinction of being the very first League in Connecticut. Our history is colorful
and lasting, and the area we serve would not be the same without the tireless efforts of all our
Members. Some of our League’s past projects are parts of organizations that still continue to
thrive in our community today! Our League was involved in the formation of the Discovery
Museum, the Beardsley Zoo, and the School Volunteer Association, just to name a few.
Our organization is almost entirely run by volunteers. Our Members gain invaluable training and
experience through the creation and implementation of our projects, which they subsequently
bring to other organizations, businesses and non-profits. This has always meant that our
Members are able to individually impact their communities beyond their League involvement,
preparing them to become community and civic leaders of their times.
Today, the JLEFC’s “Healthy Families, Healthy Futures” community projects impact School
Readiness in the areas of literacy, healthy lifestyles, and hunger, to better prepare children
to succeed in later grades and subsequently, graduate from high school. In 2015-2016, the
League will continue to improve and enrich the Greater Bridgeport community through the
following projects:
Leaguers Building Readers, collects and distributes books to at-risk children in our
community through the United Way and Read to Grow. Since its inception, tens of
thousands of books have been collected by the JLEFC.
Cook & Feed for Friends in Need, which provides approximately 150 meals per month to
Operation Hope.
Done in a Day events, including community garden clean ups, healthy lifestyle events,
book and food drives and more.
Neighborhood Impact, where through long-standing partnerships with Thomas
Hooker School and the Bridgeport YMCA, we support their school readiness efforts.
Healthy Families Dinner Series, In January 2015, The League’s newest signature
project, “Healthy Families Dinner Series” was launched. This joint venture
with the Center for Family Justice, the Bridgeport YMCA and the Norma Pfriem Urban
Outreach Initiative provides bi-monthly dinners and family programming
to improve school readiness.
Healthy Families 5K Run/Walk, the JLEFC held its inaugural 5K Run/Walk fundraiser at
Beardsley Park in November of 2014. Funds raised at this event help support the
mission of our League and our community outreach projects. The second annual Run/
Walk will be held on November 15, 2015.
In addition to providing community impact and training opportunities for our Members, the
League has always offered opportunities to create lifelong friendships, while working alongside
other inspiring women who actively seek ways to become more engaged in their community.
Women of character creating lasting community change. We are the women of the Junior League.

Samantha S. Collin
President, JLEFC 2015-2016
