​

Q: What is the Junior League of Victoria?

​

A: The Junior League of Victoria is a non-profit organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and to improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. We are one of 292 Junior Leagues located in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The League’s purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. We reach out to women of all races, religions, and national origins who demonstrate an interest in and commitment to voluntarism.

​

Q: Why should I join the Junior League of Victoria?

​

A: Membership in the Junior League of Victoria provides many benefits. The most significant is the personal satisfaction that comes with making a positive contribution to our community. The Junior League empowers women through leadership training and development to take action in the Victoria community, all while building relationships with a diverse group of dedicated, talented women. You will learn about the Victoria community and how to collaborate with other organizations to achieve a common goal. As a member, you will receive training and can sharpen your skills in areas such as public speaking, public relations, budgeting, facilitation, team building, fundraising, advocacy, volunteer coordination, and program development. Should you move out of the area, you can transfer your membership to another Junior League.

​

Q: Who belongs to the JLV?

​

A: The most common characteristic shared by members is that they are women committed to contributing to our community. The JLV members are a diverse group composed of both married and single women, many with children and many who work fulltime, part-time or are currently stay at home moms.

​

Q: Isn’t the Junior League really just a social organization?

​

A: No. The Junior League of Victoria strives to fulfill our mission statement, while focusing on projects supporting our charitable endeavors. The social element is one of the many benefits of League membership, but it is not our primary purpose.

​

Q: What will my financial obligation be?

​

A: Active Members of the Junior League of Victoria pay annual dues of $140 and must meet a minimum Fundraising Financial Obligation (FFO) of $175. The FFO requirement may be fulfilled through the purchase of tickets, sponsorships, or cash donations to our annual fundraiser(s). First year provisional members are also required to pay a one-time $75 course fee in addition to required dues.
