Each find a place in League and share a common goal to make an impact in our community while further developing their own talents and capacities.

How It Works

Before diving in full force, new League members participate in a provisional class, giving you the opportunity to learn what League is all about. The group meets once a month from September through December, becoming active members in January.

New members participate in:

  • Leadership and volunteer training
  • Hands-on work with a community project
  • Education about past League projects
  • Mentoring from current active and sustaining members
  • Building new friendships with your provisional classmate

Active Member Commitments

After participating in a provisional year, active members:

  • Attend six of nine General Membership Meetings or designated alternatives (such as Board meetings) during Junior League’s active year, which runs from September to May
  • Actively serve on one or more  committee
  • Volunteer a total of 20 hours, 10 participating in fundraising events and 10 supporting JLCR projects
  • Fulfill a $90 fundraising commitment through participating in JLCR fundraisers.
  • Fulfill the annual membership fee of $107 per year.
