Why Join the Junior League? Our Mission
The Junior League is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.
Development as a leader is intricately bound up in the work you do in the community as part of the League ─ that’s our unique value proposition.
There are other women’s leadership organizations out there and there are tons of volunteer organizations out there, but the Junior League is unique because you get both, and you are surrounded by inspiring, like-minded women. We are NOT a social club or a direct service organization, and what you’ll miss out on if you join those organizations and not the Junior League is the opportunity to build your skills through the work you’ll do all the while making friends along the way.
Women come to us from all walks of life and in various life stages so whether you’re an empty-nester, recent college grad or a newer mom, there is a place for you in the League if our Mission resonates with you.
Whether your primary motivator is to build a skill, give back with the skills you already possess or a combination, there are opportunities for you to accomplish those goals through your League involvement.
Benefits of Membership
The Junior League is a unique organization for many reasons, one of which is that you are provided with opportunities to try new challenges and to build new skills—opportunities you may not get in your place of employment or in your everyday life at all currently.
Through your involvement with the League, you will be giving back to the community while at the same time developing your civic leadership skills and making friends along the way!
