A half century ago,
"a dream team" of 22 young women and their
mentor, embraced a vision of community service that
became the Houston Junior Forum. In 2010 - 2011
HJF celebrates its 65th Anniversary.
Today we are an active,
vibrant, and youthful group of women who come together
to accomplish great things while having a wonderful
time and building lasting friendships.
Come join us!
