Who may apply for membership? Women (eighteen years of age or older) who live or work in the communities we serve: White Plains, Scarsdale, Eastchester and Greenburgh.

What requirements must applicants satisfy before they are admitted as members? Applicants or 'provisionals' (as a group) must plan for and complete a pre-selected community service project before becoming admitted as members.  This project is done under the guidance of current League members.  In addition,  provisionals attend a series of training sessions designed to improve each member's effectiveness as a community service volunteer.  The training sessions and pre-selected community service project require approximately 2 to 3 months to complete.

What time commitment does membership entail? Members must agree to serve on at least one committee each year.  Committee needs and requirements are varied.  Members must also contribute 3 hours of their time to one of the League's fundraising activities and 3 hours to one of the League's Community Service projects in addition to their assigned committee work.  Membership meetings take place on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (September - May) from 8:00 to approximately 9:30 PM.  Attendance at the meetings is required.

Can I work full time and still have time for membership? A surprisingly large percentage of the JLCW's membership have full-time careers.  Many others are involved in additional community service activities.  We recognize that project opportunities must be varied and flexible in order to accommodate the diverse needs of our membership.

Must I know a current member in order to join? No.  It is hoped, however, that membership in the JLCW will lead to lasting friendships with other women that share an interest in community service.
