The Junior League of Murfreesboro was founded in 1992 by 24 visionary charter members. These dedicated women came together with a shared goal: to build an organization that would provide a platform for the growing number of volunteers eager to serve the Murfreesboro community. They chose to follow the structure of the Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI), and under the leadership of President Anne Davis, they began laying the foundation for what would become the Junior League of Murfreesboro.

Just four months after their initial meeting, on May 10, 1992, the Junior Service League of Murfreesboro was officially incorporated. Over the next year, the first provisional class of 100 women was recruited, fundraising events were organized, and training on volunteerism and community service began.

On May 4, 1993, the first provisional class became active members and began their placements in various community projects, many of which are still in place today. By 1995, the Junior Service League of Murfreesboro had officially become the Junior League of Murfreesboro, setting a record for the fastest transition to League status.

We owe a deep gratitude to the 24 founding members who laid the groundwork of “strengthening the community, one child at a time.” Their vision and commitment continue to inspire us, and we proudly honor their legacy.

Over the years, the Junior League of Murfreesboro has provided invaluable volunteer service and financial support to numerous agencies and programs. We have also established impactful community initiatives such as the Little Black Dress and Find the Good Day, both of which encourage community involvement in raising awareness and promoting kindness.

Our community projects are funded through our annual fundraising events and the generous support of businesses and individuals who believe in the mission of the Junior League. We continue to build on the legacy of our founding members, creating lasting change in Murfreesboro.
