Inscription. In 1922, a group of ten civic-minded women formed the Dallas Chapter of the Association of Junior Leagues. Eva O’Neill was voted the chapter’s first president. Early charitable efforts focused on women and children. In response to economic challenges in the 1930s, the League concentrated efforts to assist the unemployed. During World War II, League members spearheaded war-related efforts in addition to regular service. In the 1950s, the League expanded its focus to include special education and juvenile mental health. For the past century, the League has partnered with local organizations and generously given volunteer hours, scholarships, grants and trained countless women for civic and charitable leadership in the Dallas area.
