The Junior League of Arlington Prepares for Fall New Member Class

ARLINGTON, Texas, August 4, 2022 – This month, the Junior League of Arlington (JLA) is preparing for the start of its fall new member class on Saturday, August 27, 2022. The fall curriculum starts with a day of teambuilding and hands-on service opportunities, plus a tour of Arlington, and is followed by five monthly classes that cover various aspects of JLA’s mission and membership, culminating in a holiday fundraising project in December.

Recognizing how the COVID-19 pandemic has both highlighted needs and impacted volunteer opportunities, JLA is poised to train a new generation of women to make a difference in the Arlington community.

“We have a refreshed curriculum for this new member class that really gets to the core of who we are at JLA – women united in service – and even who we aren’t,” says April Benjamin, JLA President. “New members will learn everything from our history and how we develop women leaders to how we help improve our community. And since our members are our mission, we want to give new members every opportunity to identify which part of JLA speaks to their heart for service.”

Applications for the fall new member class are still open. Women interested in joining JLA can apply online at jlarlington.org.
