The Junior League of Tulsa, Inc. is devoted to ending the cycle of poverty in the Tulsa community through hands-on education, community-based programs, and mission-driven partnerships. Our work focuses on supporting women, children, and families experiencing poverty, instability, or transition.

After we identify and research critical needs in our community, we develop programs to address these needs, often in collaboration with local nonprofit agencies. Through our community programs, members contribute thousands of volunteer hours to the Tulsa area every year. We also offer done-in-a-day project assistance to local nonprofit organizations and schools. Our volunteers receive training so they are prepared to meet the needs of those we serve.
