Welcome to Junior League of Lafayette. 

 Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to learn more about our organization, our Members, and the impact we are proud to make throughout Acadiana. 

As the 26-27 President of Junior League of Lafayette, I am honored to lead an organization with 69 years of service, leadership, and community impact in Acadiana. For generations, Junior League of Lafayette has brought together women committed to volunteerism, collaboration, leadership development, and meaningful change within our community. Today, our League is made up of more than 500 dynamic and dedicated Members who work alongside community partners to support programs and initiatives that strengthen and serve our region. 

From Acadiana’s premier holiday market, Tinsel & Treasures, to our exciting Touch-A-Truck® event, our fundraisers help support impactful community programs and partnerships, including initiatives such as our Diaper Bank, Happy Wheels, Spark HER and many other projects that directly serve families and individuals across Acadiana. 

What truly makes Junior League of Lafayette special is our Members. We are women from different backgrounds, experiences, and stories, united by our Mission: advancing women’s leadership and creating meaningful impact in our community. 

Whether you are interested in partnering with us, supporting our Mission, attending an event, or becoming a Member, we invite you to connect with us and become part of the story. 

Thank you again for visiting Junior League of Lafayette. We hope you enjoy learning more about our League, our Mission, and the incredible women who continue to move it forward every day.
