Leadership Development 
The Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills develops our members to be effective volunteers and civic leaders. Some of the benefits of League membership include:
  • Engage in practical, hands-on training for effective community leadership, including advocacy, community research, fundraising, finance, leadership, public relations, and personal development.  Under our system of governance, all positions turn over annually, which creates a constant stream of learning opportunities for members. You will have the chance to explore different projects, internal administrative roles, fundraising opportunities, develop invaluable leadership abilities, serve on the board of directors, and more.
  • Lead a diverse network of community-minded women. You will be part of an internal network of women encompassing varied backgrounds, education and talents. This strength of our membership offers you personal support for success throughout your involvement with our community. Your interaction with other women interested in community service will be invaluable.
  • Understand our local community and work with various nonprofits. Our collaborative projects are funded with volunteers and financing for periods from one day to several years, and our community programs are evaluated continually, so you have the opportunity to work with different nonprofits in our community to meet a current unmet need.  JLOSH offers a variety of ways for volunteers to improve our community, so you can find a program that specifically appeals to you.
  • Be part of something even bigger as a member of the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. (AJLI), an organization of over 140,000 members in 291 Leagues, located in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom doing work in their local communities.  AJLI is one of the oldest and most influential women’s volunteer organizations in the world.
  • Make lifelong friendships by volunteering side-by-side with intelligent, interesting, and diverse women who are committed to making a difference in our community.
