The first year of membership in the Junior League of Charlottesville (JLC) is spent as a Provisional Member. As a group, Provisionals receive volunteer training, leadership development, and learn about the history, governance, and structure of the JLC.

Provisionals begin their year in August and continue their training through the following May when they become Active Members. Provisionals are required to attend meetings and participate in community service events throughout the year that will help them prepare for becoming an Active member. They must also meet certain financial commitments and successfully complete the Provisional Training Course.

The JLC is accepting applications for new Provisional Members June 8 through July 31. You can fill out an application and learn more about the JLC’s mission and obligations here.

If you would like to learn more about JLC or have specific questions before applying, please fill out the New Member Interest Form or email Emily Thompson at provisional@jlcville.org.
