A NOTE TO NEW MEMBERS: WHY JLLA?

Nearly 100 interested women have already attended JLLA recruitment events this year, with just a few sessions remaining. What makes the Junior League of Los Angeles such a special organization for women to grow and thrive? One of our current JLLA members, Victoria Gordon, recently shared her JLLA story:

“I joined the Junior League of Los Angeles to make friends and to give back to the community through a respected, long-standing organization. I have managed to achieve both goals, and so much more, because of the unique opportunities JLLA has provided.

         The Junior League is more than just a service organization. We are a training organization, and our dedication to training our volunteers to be better advocates and more effective leaders helps us build a team of superwomen. In my two years in the League, I have completed a Development Certificate and our renowned Leadership Development Institute and have grown immensely from my experiences in both. In fact, I recently co-chaired a charity dinner using skills I learned in both programs!

         Beyond our direct service and top-notch trainings, however, JLLA itself is a community. Our membership includes women of all ages, professions and backgrounds, and I am always honored to work and train alongside these exceptional women.

         I often say that becoming a Junior League member was one of the best decisions of my adult life. I stand by those words. Not only am I bettering my community, I am bettering myself.”
