Each member’s training starts with her Provisional course and continues within her placement programs during her Active years. In addition to the experiential training our members receive through various placements and projects, the JLC features an Education and Training Council that provides a variety of learning and enrichment opportunities for our members, serving the very heart of our mission.

New Member Training: New members are immersed in training from the beginning. They have a monthly small group meeting to learn about all of the aspects of the Junior League. Through these meetings and meetings with the larger Membership Development group, new members receive information and reinforcement around effective voluntarism to participate over continued years of service. Training culminates in a new member Capstone Project with a focus on the community. This new member training is included in the new member fee.

General and Annual Meetings

General Meetings: General Meetings are held throughout the year and feature Keynote Speakers and subject-matter experts covering a range of topics. JLC Members attend at no additional cost.

The Junior League of Charlotte, Inc. also offers more intensive training programs for smaller groups:

Training Series:
