Frequently Asked Questions on Becoming a Member

I have a full-time job. Can I still become a member?

Why should I volunteer with the Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills versus other organizations?
Current volunteers speak of the meaningful impact they feel they have in the community and their ability to contribute in a structured, well-organized environment. Volunteers also benefit from training in a variety of educational and leadership programs. And, our members also enjoy the opportunity to work with a diverse and talented group of women.

What kinds of women participate in your League?
We are most proud of our diversity. Our organization attracts women of difffering racial, socio-economic and educational backgrounds.  Our service area includes nine communities, and we draw members from many of those communities.

How does the Junior League serve the Community?
