The
Houston Junior Forum is a nonprofit women’s
service organization founded in 1946. The organization
is open to women age 20 and older with a strong desire
to help others in the Houston community and currently
has more than 375 active members.
To date, the Houston Junior Forum has provided more
than one million hours of community service and nearly
$10,000,000 in financial support of our facilities and
volunteer service programs including over $800,000 in
scholarships to more than 150 students since 1976. Houston
Junior Forum’s endowment exceeds $1,000,000 and
assists in fulfilling its charitable purposes.
This year HJF celebrated 66 years of
volunteer service to the Houston community. Over the
years, HJF has received numerous awards including “Outstanding
Community Service Organization” from the Association
of Fundraising Professionals, and first place in Texas
for the “Build a Better Community” contest.
In 2011, the Forum received a proclamation from Texas
Governor Rick Perry for outstanding service to the Houston
community. HJF looks forward to a future focused on
transforming the lives of those we serve, enriching
the skills of membership and developing friendships.

 Read
about this year's fundraiser Conversations
from the Heart. The sold-out
benefit luncheon, chaired by Judy Perkins and Paula
Howeth, was held at the Houstonian Hotel Club &
Spa, February 10, 2012, with Dominique Sachse, KPRC-TV
news anchor, serving as guest interviewer for a “conversation”
with Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Bush Hager.
Honorees for the luncheon were Kay and
Bob Newman of Bunker Hill Village. Proceeds from
the luncheon benefited the HJF
College Scholarship and Community Grants programs.
Approximately 500 guests attended the
luncheon, including President George H.W. Bush and Mrs.
Bush. (Click
