The Junior League of Phoenix, Incorporated, provides training for its members in the following ways:

The Training Vice President is responsible for ensuring members receive training opportunities both internal and external to The Junior League, such as advocacy training which educates members about legislative issues, lobbying events, and other areas that impact the needs of the community. Members are also provided leadership development opportunities to not only hold leadership positions in The Junior League, but provide expertise in the community by serving on boards, fundraisers, or as advocates or liaisons for other non-profit organizations;

General Membership Meetings provide training in a large group setting by providing speakers who cover such topics as grant writing, communications skills and diversity, as well as providing access to speakers like Joanne Johnson Felt and Jan Langbein;

In-League Committees are a source of training by their nature. For example, volunteers can learn about finance at any level by participating in one of the areas under the Finance Vice President or about the media by working in one of the Communications Vice President's areas; and
