The Junior League of Denver (JLD) is a women’s training organization that develops civic leaders committed to improving our community. Founded in 1918, the League started, and aided in starting, many well-known Denver institutions including Children’s Museum of Denver, Mile High Transplant Bank (now Donor Alliance), the Red Rocks concerts and many others.
