FAQs

How Large is the JLAC?
- We currently have 50+ active members plus a growing number of sustainers.
When are your meetings held?
- Our meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm with a cocktail half hour starting at 6:30pm. Our new member program is held from 6:00-6:30 as well.
I have a full-time job. Can I still join?
- Yes! Most JLAC members hold regular full-time jobs. JLAC has volunteer activities available in the evenings and on weekends, as well as signature projects during the day to accommodate members’ varied schedules.
How does JLAC support the community?
- Volunteer power enables the Junior League to offer much more than most grant-making organizations. When a dollar is donated to the Junior League, it is made more robust with the addition of trained volunteer hours to provide a more meaningful impact on the community. The time donated by trained JLAC volunteers is often argued to be even more valuable than the dollars awarded.
Why should I volunteer with JLAC rather than individual organizations?
- Member volunteers speak of the meaningful impact they feel they have on the community and their ability to contribute to a structured, well-organized environment. Volunteers also benefit from training in a variety of educational and leadership programs.
What are the expectations of membership?
- We pride ourselves on meeting members where they are, knowing life happens. The goal for every member is to attend five of the eight meetings and complete 12 service hours a year, in addition, to help the league grow by serving the league internally in a role of her choosing.
What are the fees?
- There is a $70.00 new member fee that is only paid at your time of joining. Then all members pay an annual fee of $250.00, including tickets to the spring party/oyster roast. The $250.00 is not due all at once and can be paid from August to May. We have several scholarships available, so please don’t hesitate to contact Brittney Gamble at JLACTreasurer@gmail.com for more information.
