Become A Member
Thank you for your interest in joining the Junior League of Wilmington.!
Each year, the Junior League of Wilmington trains groups of new members (Provisionals) to be more effective volunteers and leaders in the community. New members are welcomed into the League and provided information on League operations, structure, and function. From there, a new member will be placed on one of our committees to immediately get involved with our Mission. There will also be opportunities to connect with other new members outside of committee placement. New member onboarding begins in August and January.
You’re Invited
