Thanks for your interest in the Junior League of Charlotte. At this time we are no longer accepting women who need help finding a sponsor for the upcoming Provisional class (starting in August). Please check back with us via the website in August if you are still interested in the Junior League and need help finding a sponsor.
General Information There are currently two (2) Provisional courses each year: Course 1 (August – December) and Course 2 (January – June). Both courses will be limited to 90 prospective members based on a first come, first serve basis.
