How to Join

 

The Junior League of Oakland-East Bay, Inc. (JLOEB) reaches out to women of all races, religions and national origin who demonstrate an interest in and commitment to voluntarism. If you are interested in making a commitment to volunteering in the Oakland and East Bay area, please join us!

Eligibility for Membership
To be eligible to join the JLOEB as a new member, a woman must be at least 21 years old as of June 1 of her new member year. No member sponsorship is required to join JLOEB -- just an interest in voluntarism, a commitment to community service, and a desire to develop the skills and abilities which will better enable her to serve the community. Any woman who meets these criteria is warmly welcomed.

When to Join
We accept new members only one time each year, between June 1 - September 1. The deadline for receipt of new member enrollment forms is September 11, 2007. Prospective members who miss this window must wait until the following calendar year to join.

Enrollment Process
All women interested in learning more about becoming a member of the JLOEB are strongly encouraged to attend a prospective member information session. Enrollment forms and League information packets will be available at these sessions.

The new member program officially begins in early September of each year. All new member responsibilities
will need to be completed by April 30, 2008.

To receive information regarding our prospective member information sessions, please email newmember@jloeb.org.
