Welcome to The Junior League of Austin!

It is with deep pride and genuine excitement that I serve as President of The Junior League of Austin for the 2026–27 League year. For more than 9 decades, this organization has built a legacy of service, leadership, and meaningful community impact, and I am honored to carry that legacy forward alongside our extraordinary membership.

With more than 2,300 members, The Junior League of Austin is the largest women’s service organization in Austin. Our mission to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training is as relevant and necessary as ever. Each year, our members contribute thousands of hours of service, driving initiatives that create real and lasting change across the Greater Austin area

Our signature programs — Coats for Kids, Kids in Cool Shoes (KICS), and Food In Tummies (FIT) — continue to thrive and grow. This year, we’re especially proud to announce the expansion of KICS into Del Valle ISD, bringing well-fitting shoes and the confidence that comes with them to even more children in our community. In addition to our signature programs, we partner with more than 20 local community organizations, supporting them through both volunteer service and financial contributions.

We invite you to join us for our beloved annual fundraisers, A Christmas Affair® (Nov. 18–22, 2026) and Austin Entertains (March 4, 2027). These events are cornerstones of our calendar and vital to sustaining the work we do in the community. We are deeply grateful for the support of our members, donors, and community partners who make it all possible.

This year’s theme, “Leading with Heart,” reflects the spirit I hope guides everything we do: showing up with courage and authenticity, investing in one another, and serving our community with both passion and purpose. As President, I am committed to fostering a League where every member feels empowered to grow, connect, and lead, and where every woman who wants to make a difference in Austin knows she belongs.

Thank you for visiting our site. Whether you are a prospective member, a community partner, or a supporter of our mission, we welcome you. We invite you to explore, engage, and join us in this remarkable journey of service and leadership. Please feel free to reach out to president@jlaustin.org with any questions

With gratitude,
Sarah Gutierrez
President, 2026–2027
