Eligibility & Admission for Membership

The Junior League of Greater Princeton welcomes all women over the age of 21 who demonstrate a commitment to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving communities, regardless of race, religion, or national origin.  There is no sponsorship requirement to join the JLGP.  All women who meet these criteria are warmly welcomed.

Membership in the JLGP provides women with the training and education to assist members in gaining the knowledge, skills and expertise to be effective volunteers and community leaders.  JLGP members often have the opportunity to broaden their current skill set in a supportive environment by getting involved in the organization in areas which they have little experience but possess the desire to learn more.  JLGP members have access to numerous training and educational opportunities including leadership, community service, communication and fundraising.

Membership in the JLGP does involve time and commitment. If you are willing to learn, grow, and share your expertise working with others, JLGP membership is for YOU!  Membership in the JLGP offers a unique and life-long volunteer experience.
