JLSC Membership Categories

NEW ACTIVE MEMBERS
Our new members, known as new actives, complete a training curriculum and fulfill volunteer opportunities throughout the calendar year. All requirements must be completed by late fall in order to attain active member status. Additionally, New Actives will have the opportunity to attend various social events throughout the year to bond with their fellow new members as well as the Active and Sustaining Members.

ACTIVE MEMBERS
Active members are those women who, having successfully completed the new active Member year, are now trained volunteers, working in the community or within the League. Members have a variety of opportunities to assist in raising funds through some of our annual fundraising activities and to determine which community agencies will receive annual support.

Active Membership can flex with the changes in our members’ lives – women are not required to serve in leadership roles, but they will have the opportunity to do so annually. They also have the opportunity to attend social events, fundraising events.

SUSTAINING MEMBERS
Sustaining Members, or Sustainers, as they are more commonly know are former active members who have completed a determined period of active service and/or reached a determined age. Sustaining members have no official leadership or volunteer requirements but often participate by assisting a committee with their historical knowledge and expertise.

Sustainers hold additional separate social events throughout the year – many of which are just as popular with our Active Members!
