Our Journey to be a Member-Centric Junior League
We know women’s lives have changed dramatically over the last 100 years and the one size fits all approach to Junior League membership no longer applies. We have to transform our model to be member-centric, which will create a more meaningful experience for each of you. To deliver on our Mission, we need to develop you as civic leaders with the skills and competencies to improve our community.
Our League has committed to making these changes and for that reason we are going to start using a new online tool to support our placement process. The Placement Matching Tool was developed by our parent organization, The Association of Junior Leagues (AJLI), in partnership with a task force of Leagues over the last year. It is designed to help our League reset our approach to Membership. We have setup a Placement Matching Tool Team who will guide our League through our transition to this platform. Questions?

FAQs
Why is this important now?
Our League is now focused on providing our members with productive development experiences that result in new tangible skills. The end result of this new vision for our membership is that you each have a more meaningful experience in the League, and our organization reverses course and thrives.
How does this affect our League’s placement process?
The Placement Matching Tool enables our League to place you intentionally and meaningfully. You will identify the learning experiences you want, and you’ll communicate that to our League through the Placement Matching Tool. The platform will guide you through a six-step process where you’ll choose your level of involvement based on your availability during the League year, and you’ll also identify the learning experiences you want by sharing your skills and competencies. The system’s algorithm will then suggest placements that align with your interests.
What does it mean to me?
You’ll be able to design your own League experience to fit your schedule and meet your interests. You’ll choose your level of involvement based on your availability during the League year. You’ll also identify the learning experiences you want, and by sharing your skills and competencies, partake in a placement that is aligned with your interests.
