The Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. (AJLI) is a nonprofit organization of 293 Junior Leagues in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Junior Leagues are educational and charitable women's organizations aimed at helping their communities and improving their members through volunteerism. As a side effect of this they also benefit their members by offering networking opportunities.

The first Junior League, the Junior League for the Promotion of the Settlement Movement (now the Junior League of the City of New York, Inc.) was founded in 1901 in New York CIty by Mary Harriman, daughter of the wealthy railroad executive Edward H. Harriman. The organization's first project was a settlement house. The league was soon emulated, and by 1921, 30 Leagues joined to form the national association.

In 1921, Dorothy Payne Whitney became the first president of the Association of Junior Leagues International Inc., operating as the umbrella organization for all Junior Leagues worldwide. There are currently 293 Leagues in Canada, the United States, Mexico and the UK[1]. The first League outside the United States was in Montreal, Canada.
