About Us

What is a "Junior" Woman anyway?

The Woodridge Junior Woman's Club is a non-profit organization that supports charities in the Woodridge area, as well as greater DuPage County. It provides local women with an organizational structure, allowing them to use their talents to make a difference in their community. The club provides its members with opportunities to make new friends, learn new skills, and network with women of similar interests.

The Club was organized in November 1987 and chartered in May 1988.

It is a member of the GFWC/IFWC Fifth District.

The Junior Pledge

I pledge my loyalty to Junior Club Women.
By doing better than ever before what work I have to do;
By being prompt, honest, courteous,
By living each day -
trying to accomplish something, not merely to exist.
