MEMBERSHIP TYPES

Actives

There are currently approximately 100 Active members in JLC.  Actives are those who have completed their new member year, pay annual dues, have the opportunity to attend leadership training, social events and volunteer in our community. There is also a Senior Active status designated for those who want a reduced responsibility while still engaging in a board position or leading an event.

Actives have the following opportunities:

• Volunteering in the community with our initiatives; a sample of our recent volunteer efforts can be found here.
• Supporting our local non-profit partners at their events.
• Board leadership positions and committee membership roles.
• Fundraising opportunities such as Tour du Jour and Touch-A-Truck.
• Attending monthly “Just for Fun” socials and special events open to League members and their guests. These events may range from Bunco, Book Club, and themed events throughout the year.

Transfers

Transfers are those who are members of another Junior League and have moved to Chattanooga. If you would like to transfer your membership to Junior League of Chattanooga, please first contact the League where your current or last membership resides to begin the process. You can also contact JLC Membership at membership@jlchatt.org or the League office at juniorleague@jlchatt.org with any questions about this process.

Sustainers

Most Active members volunteer with the Junior League for eight years. Once Actives have completed their eighth year and fulfilled all of the requirements, these women have the opportunity to become a Sustaining member.  There are currently over 394 Sustaining members of Junior League of Chattanooga.  Sustainers pay a reduced annual contribution to the League and are welcome to attend all events hosted by the JLC or any Junior League.

If you are a Junior League of Chattanooga Sustainer or a Sustainer from another Junior League, please contact sustainer-liaison@jlchatt.org.
