Membership Levels

JLSN has three membership levels: Provisional, Active, and Sustaining. You start your journey as a provisional member by filling out an application and attending new member classes. See below for full requirements.

Provisional/New Member

New members are women who are joining a Junior League for the first time! New Junior League members participate in a new member course (minimum of 3 classes required to complete the path to membership), attend at least one volunteer event during their provisional year, and work together on one of our committees.

Requirements to become an active member:

  • Attend 3 out of 4 provisional classes
  • Actively participate in assigned committee
  • Attend at least one General Membership Meeting
  • Participate in at least one community project
  • Pay dues

New members also experience the Junior League through meetings, leadership trainings, social activities, and additional volunteer opportunities. Provisional members pay our annual membership fee of $185 (pro-rated if you start in the 2nd half of the League year) and a $25 course fee.

New member course classes are held between August and May of each year. Fill out an application to get started.

Questions? Send all mew member inquiries to Sarah Wolcott, Provisional Chair, at ssw.jlsn@gmail.com.

Active Member

Active members are the heart of our volunteer efforts. Each active member serves on a committee and participates in community events, social events,  fundraising, and training opportunities throughout the year. Active members pay annual renewal fees of $185, which includes membership in the Association of Junior Leagues International.

Sustaining Member

Sustaining members of JLSN have been members of the Junior League for 5+ years. Renewal fees for Sustainers have three tiers based on date of birth ($130 for members born after June 30, 1950, $80 for members born before June 30, 1950, and none for members over 80 years of age). Sustainers have no meeting or placement requirements but continue to participate in League events as well as their own calendar of special events and social activities.
