History and Mission
The Leaguers, Inc. was founded in 1943 by Mary E. Burch and incorporated in
1948. The agency's mission for the past fifty years has been to enhance the
quality of life for children and families through diverse programming that
fosters self-growth, pride in one's community, personal empowerment, and the
attainment of self-sufficiency. We believe in opportunity through education.
In 1987, The Leaguers expanded its service area to include the Township of
Irvington. Although our programming has changed to address the needs of
today's youths and families, our mission remains the same. The Leaguers has a
documented history of preparing youths to take their rightful place in society
as responsible adults.
The Leaguers serves approximately 1, 313 clients per month. The agency
provides various programs for children, families and community residents.
