WHO WE ARE

The National Association of Junior Auxiliaries (NAJA) is a non-profit organization founded on November 14th, 1941 by a gathering of 100 women from 10 towns in the states of Arkansas and Mississippi. These women had been serving in their respective communities in the care and welfare of underprivileged children and in civic endeavors dealing with the severe poverty and suffering caused by the depression. Their goal was to unite in order to form a national organization to strengthen and inspire others through their union. That first gathering of 100 women has grown into 101 active chapters with over 15,000 women, including provisional, active, life and associate members in the 8 southern states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.
