In the Spring of 1982, three Provisional members from the Junior League of Birmingham, Michigan living in the Ann Arbor area undertook the project of determining if there was an interest in establishing a women's volunteer organization like the Junior League in Ann Arbor. Approximately 50 Non-Resident Actives and Sustaining members were found to be living in the area. The members were contacted and the first meeting was held in April of 1982. The creation of the Ann Arbor Junior League had been set in motion.

The Ronald McDonald House was one of the first projects undertaken by the newly formed Junior League. It opened in November, 1985 to temporarily house family of loved ones being treated at the University of Michigan hospital. We have taken great strides and accomplished many goals since our humble beginnings in 1982.

We continue to encompass our vision together... creating pathways for positive change.
