This Day in NYJL History

In Spring of 1992, the Great Opportunities for the College Bound committee of the New York Junior League held a career awareness trip to Xerox headquarters. During their visit, students were presented with expert panelists and given demonstrations of Xerox equipment.The goal of the Great Opportunities for the College Bound committee was to present career seminars to college-bound high school students from the NYC School System, encouraging motivated young adults to explore various career opportunities. 


During their visit, students were presented with expert panelists and given demonstrations of Xerox equipment.

Over twenty-five years later, committees across the NYJL continue this goal of encouraging children and students to reach their potential and become future leaders.
