Junior League is more of an organization that promotes voluntarism than a networking organization. It was established in 1901 in New York by a young woman who saw her mother (and other women in her mother's generation) volunteering for things such as the Symphony League or the Hospital League. She wanted to establish a league for younger women...hence the Junior League.
