President’s Message
Welcome to the Junior League of Richardson!
We are a diverse and inclusive organization of women dedicated to improving the community throughout Richardson and North Dallas.
Our League began as the Richardson Service League in 1966. Over 50 years later, we continue to stand upon a strong foundation with a rich history of community service built on the motto “growth in service to the community”. We had the pleasure of joining the Association of Junior Leagues International in 1980.
Through the decades, community need-based issues have defined the work and strategic direction of the League. As such, we have evolved as an organization as the community around us has changed. We are proud to be tackling issues impacting women and children by working with our community partners. Our organization started the Don’t Wait to Vaccinate clinic, offering free vaccines to children in the city of Richardson and in Richardson ISD. The clinic immunized more than 50,000 children through 150,000 immunizations over the course of its 25 years of operation. Our organization maintains relationships with and offers volunteer service to our Community Partners including the Chase’s Place, Network of Community Ministries, the Richardson Adult Literacy Center, the Visiting Nurses Association/Meals on Wheels, and the Warren Center.
Additionally, during our 2021-2022 League year, we provided $5,000 in scholarship funds to deserving Richardson ISD students. These young women exemplified extraordinary volunteerism and high educational achievements. Our League also provided $2,500 in grants to other Richardson area non-profit organizations to help facilitate their mission and support our community.
I encourage you to learn more about us by exploring our website or by finding us on Facebook and Instagram. Whether you are looking for a place to make a difference in our community, seeking a community partnership, or wanting to learn more about our phenomenal projects, we welcome you! The Junior League of Richardson welcomes all women who value our Mission. We are committed to inclusive environments of individuals, organizations, and communities.
I am both humbled and honored to serve the Richardson and North Dallas communities alongside some truly exceptional women.
On behalf of the 2022-2023 Board of Directors, we are grateful for our donors and looking forward to supporting our community partners and engaging our members to act as a catalyst for lasting change! Thank you for your interest in the Junior League of Richardson.
Caydra C. Andrews
