Membership Expectations

About the First Year Active

Active membership in the Junior League of DeKalb County begins with our First Year Active course.  Each fall our First Year Actives meet about once a month to learn about the League, our history, our governance and organization, and the positive impact we have on our community.  During this time, we also get to know you and how we can help you lead and serve in DeKalb County.  In addition, First Year Actives participate in other activities that include community service, training, fund raising, team building and fun.

It is not necessary that you know someone in Junior League of DeKalb County or any Junior League to join.  As a member of the Junior League of DeKalb County, you will have the opportunity to form lasting relationships with other JLD women, develop your leadership skills, and positively impact our community. We look forward to meeting you soon!
