Founded in 1901 by Mary
Harriman, the Junior Leagues are charitable nonprofit organizations of
women, developed as civic leaders, creating demonstrable community
impact.
Today, The Association of
Junior Leagues International, Inc. is comprised of more than 155,000
women in 292 Junior Leagues throughout Canada, Mexico, the UK and the
US. Collectively, we constitute one of the largest, most effective
volunteer organizations in the world.

The program website, http://kidsinthekitchen.org/,
provides support materials including nutrition recipes, tips and more. This
League-wide initiative honors the Junior League's long heritage of impact on
family nutrition over the past 107 years. Kids in the Kitchen addresses a
growing problem facing today's children with the number of overweight children
in our countries having increased dramatically, substantially increasing
children's risks for health problems such as type 2 diabetes, high blood
pressure and high cholesterol.
