Women building better communities. That's the Junior League.
They are all women.  Many are businesswomen.  Several of them are teachers.  Some are attorneys and doctors.  Others are mothers.  They log several thousand volunteer hours per year.  They collaborate with community leaders to implement programs and activities that will benefit the welfare of children in the Athens-Clarke County community.  They are the women of Junior League of Athens, one of the oldest community service organizations in the Athens area.
