 We are the Junior League of Greater Elmira Corning!

Above all else, our goal is to promote and perpetuate social change in the Elmira– Corning and surrounding communities that will benefit most from it. By empowering women and providing valuable leadership training, we are giving local women the tools to get involved, put their talents to work, and positively impact the community.  

Strength in Numbers

As one of hundreds of Junior League chapters across the world, we are a member of the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. (AJLI). Established in 1932 the Junior League of Greater Elmira-Corning plays an integral part in the development, improvement, and support of the communities of Elmira-Corning.  

While you’re here, we welcome you to learn how to join us, support our work, or get involved.

Our Local Impact

Since 2021,  the Junior League of Greater Elmira-Corning has distributed nearly 50,000 diapers and 25,000 menstrual products to the community. In 2025, the League partnered with CIDS to expand its impact, awarded grants to organizations like Finn Academy and CareFirst Nursing Scholarship Fund, raised $6,000 through a Mother-Daughter Dance, and hosted events like the Jingle Jam roller skating fundraiser to support a community dinner at the Transformation Center in Elmira.  League leadership also participated in national training initiatives to further strengthen their efforts. 

If you’re interested in learning more about our current focus or developing your own civic leadership skills, we welcome you to learn more or connect with us.
