About Kimberly Juniors

Kimberly Juniors was founded by Helen Cheney Kimberly in 1916, after a life-long interest in the social development of young women. Mary Emma Shirk continued in her mother’s footsteps, serving as the advisor to the organization until her death in 1979. In 1980, a governing Board of Trustees was established to continue the organization.
