Become a Member

In 1914, the Junior League of Kansas City welcomed new members, transfers from other Leagues, and reinstatements. We are an organization of strong, diverse women committed to building a better Kansas City. Our committee is dedicated to making your experience as personal as possible, providing you with information about our distinguished achievements in the Kansas City community, and ensuring you feel welcomed and informed of the journey to Active membership.

We look forward to getting to know you at one of our Informational Sessions.
