Membership

Find your sisterhood in service.

Every member's journey follows the same path — from provisional candidate to active member to sustainer. Here's how it works.

The Path

Three stages of membership

Year One

Provisional

Approved candidates working toward active membership. Provisional members:

  • Complete a provisional course meeting League standards
  • Perform a minimum of 20 volunteer hours per year
  • Attend at least six general meetings and one board meeting
  • Actively participate in fundraising efforts
  • Serve on at least one committee
  • Positively promote the League
Years 2–6

Active / General

Full members with voting rights who have completed provisional requirements. Active members:

  • Perform a minimum of 20 volunteer hours per year
  • Attend at least six general meetings
  • Actively participate in fundraising efforts
  • Serve on at least one committee
  • Positively promote the League
Year 7 & Beyond

Sustainer

After six years of membership (one provisional + five active), members may sustain by letter of intent to the Board. Sustainers:

  • Keep all privileges of active membership except individual voting and holding office
  • Positively support and promote the League
  • Remain part of the JSL family for life

Why Join

More than meetings.

JSL is where friendships form over bingo boards and fundraiser planning, where your volunteer hours turn into scholarships for local seniors, and where a night out supports a neighbor in need.
