1921-2021

In April 2021, the Junior League of Greater Princeton marked its centennial anniversary. This was a momentous occasion for our organization and we were thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you!

Over the years, the JLGP has been known as the Junior League of Trenton, the Junior League of Central Delaware Valley, and the Junior League of Greater Princeton, but our commitment to our community has remained constant. Our original mission statement, which we retained for over 100 years, honors that commitment:

The Junior League of Greater Princeton is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.

At the time of our Centennial, the JLGP was made up of more than 240 civic-minded women and belonged to a powerful network of 292 Junior Leagues with over 150,000 members in 4 countries who share our mission. Collectively, we constitute one of the largest, most effective volunteer organizations in the world. The Junior League is as relevant and needed today as it was in 1921.

Our centennial events highlighted our past projects, congratulated our volunteers, and looked toward the future and what the next 100 years will bring.
