The Junior League of Troy is a volunteer organization for women interested in making a positive impact in the community. It is our vision to strengthen the lives of women and children at risk in our community by embracing diverse perspectives and building family and community partnerships.
We are a part of the Association of Junior Leagues International, which is made up of 296 Junior Leagues in four countries.

The Junior League empowers women to take action in the community through leadership training and development.
By working with leaders and others in the community, The Junior League of Troy has a rich and varied history that has made a substantial impact on life in Troy and the surrounding communities. In 1954,the League established the Junior Museum; in 1970, the Volunteer Bureau was started, and in 1989, the League purchased a house for the Rensselaer County Hospice.
