Join
The Junior League of Monmouth County (JLMC) membership provides members the opportunity to be trained as effective volunteers through active engagement in projects focused on facilitating networking and partnerships among the community’s nonprofit organizations. Our members learn about project planning, implementation, and fully-engage in a hands-on volunteer experience. Training includes topics such as fundraising, marketing, planning, and executing community projects as well as leadership training for those wanting a deeper level of engagement within the JLMC.

Provisional Membership
New JLMC members take part in training courses conducted within New Member monthly meetings before being activated as full members in June of the following year.
The goal of this New Member training is to prepare volunteers for Active Membership in the Junior League of Monmouth County. New members will explore the variety of opportunities and benefits the JLMC offers its members.
Active Membership
Active JLMC members are expected to attend JLMC General Member Meetings (GMM). These meetings often include training and guest speakers to further educate members and leaders in the community.
The work commitment for Active Members is on average four hours per month and takes place at community partner locations throughout Monmouth County and at the Junior League of Monmouth County’s Headquarters located at 55 Center Street in Rumson.
Sustainer Membership
A Sustaining Member is one who has contributed seven or more years of Active member status to the Junior League. A Sustainer has all the privileges of membership except that she may not hold office or vote on issues that come before the membership.
A Sustainer in good standing has the obligation to pay dues but she is not required to attend meetings or perform volunteer service within the Junior League programs.
