You may ask “who is a Junior?”

A Junior is a DAR member age 18 through 35 years, who holds full DAR membership; and when qualified, may serve as an officer and/or chairman at the national, state, and chapter levels. Juniors wear many hats, often in combination! We are students, career women, mothers, and spouses. Juniors join DAR for a variety of reasons and have diverse interests. We attend meetings, serve on committees, subscribe to the DAR Magazine, follow the DAR blogs and Facebook pages, and much more! By working together for a common goal we forge many friendships and embrace the endless opportunities for personal and professional growth. Juniors are making a difference in their communities and the world!

The National Junior Membership Committee was established in 1937. The goals are: to gain new Junior members; to build a well-informed Junior membership; to encourage active participation in all phases of DAR service; and to support the National Junior Membership Committee’s official fund-raising project–the Helen Pouch Memorial Fund.

The Helen Pouch Memorial Fund is the National Junior Membership Committee’s official fundraising project. This fund is named in memory of Helen Pouch (1901-1919) who was the daughter of Mrs. William H. Pouch, the first national chairman of the Junior Membership Committee in 1937, and later President General, 1941-1944. The fund provides scholarships, medical aid, and general financial assistance to the Kate Duncan Smith DAR School in Alabama and four other approved schools.

Choctawhatchee Bay Chapter enthusiastically supports Junior Membership by encouraging active participation within all levels of the organization.
