OVERVIEW
Membership begins with a New Member, or Provisional status where you complete a Provisional Orientation Program that allows you to develop friendships, serve the local community through our partnerships, and learn about our League’s structure and history. The Junior League of the Lehigh Valley’s Provisional Orientation Program provides formal, informal, and experience training in eight leadership subjects for developing effective community service and leadership.
As part of the Provisional Orientation Program, the Junior League of the Lehigh Valley requires each new member to participate in the following:
- Attend a 30-minute orientation session with an assigned Guide
- Attend one training module for each of the eight subjects (based on the members schedule, learning style, and interest, these modules are to be completed within 12 months)
- One-time Provisional fee of $50.00 (fee includes a JLLV nametag & t-shirt and Provisional member training materials)
- Membership dues of $125.00* (dues cover Association of Junior League International (AJLI) dues, JLLV meetings, trainings, and our projects that support our community focus on educational disparity)
*New Member dues vary on the time of year that you join:
September 1 – February 28 (29 during a Leap Year): $62.50
March 1 – August 30: $125.00
The Provisional experience includes small group meetings, professional speakers, monthly check-ins with assigned Guide, and projects supporting our community focus and our League functions, including general membership meetings, fundraisers, and socials.
Active membership in the League begins upon successful completion of your Provisional orientation. Each year, Active members serve on an in-League placement.
