Young Womens' League

Brief History

The Young Women’s League, Inc. was organized and incorporated in Washington, DC. in 1941 under the leadership of Doris Carter Mundy, our Founding President, now deceased. She envisioned it as a charitable organization, dedicated to rendering financial assistance to help promote the general welfare of the less fortunate in the DC metropolitan area. Over the years, the League has expanded its efforts and broadened the scope of its projects to aid the sick and homeless, the disabled and retarded, the young and the aged, and has worked for civic, social and educational improvements in the community.
