Welcome to The Junior League of Austin!

It is with deep pride and great enthusiasm that I serve as President of The Junior League of Austin (JLA) — an organization built on a foundation of service, leadership, and a fierce commitment to making a lasting impact in our community.

For over a century, the women of The Junior League have led with both heart and purpose. Here in Austin, that legacy is alive and thriving in the work we do to support our local community, advance volunteerism, and develop the leaders of tomorrow. Since 1934, our members have contributed (and continue to contribute) thousands of hours of service each year, driving initiatives that create meaningful change, and responding with compassion to the evolving needs of the Greater Austin Area.

Whether through our signature programs like Coats for Kids, Kids in Cool Shoes (KICS), and Food In Tummies (FIT) or through powerful partnerships with over 30 community agencies, over 2400 JLA members bring passion, purpose, and leadership with every interaction and experience. Our league is able to support our programs and partners because of financial support from our members, our generous donors, beloved fundraisers, and our Community Impact Center event space. 

We invite you to mark your calendars now for A Christmas Affair 2025 Golden Year, as we celebrate 50 years of this landmark Austin event, taking place November 19-23, 2025 at Palmer Events Center. Our 10th annual Austin Entertains culinary experience will be held March 5, 2026 at the Community Impact Center. 

I am excited to share our 2025 Community Impact Report which highlights all of the JLA’s work throughout the year in the Greater Austin Area. In addition to our community impact, I’m thrilled to share that JLA was recently recognized by the Association of Junior League’s International (AJLI) with three prestigious awards: Leadership Development Award, Sustainer Connection Award, and the Excellence Award which recognizes JLA as the top league within AJLI. 

As President, I am committed to nurturing a culture where every member feels empowered to grow, connect, and lead. Together, we will continue to strengthen our impact, elevate one another, and invest in a brighter future for Central Texas. 

Thank you for visiting our site. Whether you’re a prospective member, a community partner, or a supporter of our mission — we invite you to explore, engage, and join us in this incredible journey of service and leadership. Thank you for your support and feel free to contact president@jlaustin.org with any questions or needs. 

With gratitude and purpose,
Amy Settemeyer Miller
President, 2025–2026
