Transfer to JLKC

Have you recently moved to Kansas City? Are you interested in transferring your Junior League membership from your former League? The Junior League has a 110-year history in the Kansas City community and remains an organization of women committed to advancing women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration and training. Our membership is a diverse group of over 1,200 women who annually give more than 15,000 uncompensated hours of service to the projects and agencies supported by the League.

To transfer your membership you must first contact your current Junior League and ask them to transfer your membership to Kansas City via the Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI) e-Transfer system.

Please provide your current League with the following required information:

  • Name
  • Your new address
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Your current status (Active, New Member or Sustainer)

PLEASE NOTE: After AJLI processes your transfer, you will receive an email confirmation directly from AJLI. From there, the Junior League of Kansas City, Missouri, will be notified by AJLI of your transfer request and a JLKC staff member will contact you via the email address provided to complete your transfer. Your transfer into JLKCMO is considered final when your profile is complete and any required dues and/or fees are paid.

TRANSFER FEES AND DUES

Transfer dues shall be as follows:

  • An incoming Transfer whose effective date of transfer falls between July 1 and Dec. 31 shall pay annual dues of 50% (or one-half) for the current administrative year exclusive of the AJLI per capita charge.
  • An incoming Transfer whose effective date of transfer falls between Jan. 1 and June 30 owes no annual dues for the current administrative year, but shall pay a full year’s annual dues for the following administrative year.

ACTIVE TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS

JLKC accepts Transfers on a rolling basis, thus depending on the time of year you transfer in, the requirements and opportunities will be different. All Active Transfers are placed on the Transfer Committee to help acclimate and meet other members of the League. This will be considered your primary placement; however, double placements are available from any potential placement vacancies. To learn more about what it means to be an Active Member, visit the Membership page.

PROSPECTIVE NEW MEMBER TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS

The JLKC Prospective New Member Class begins meeting in June each year. If your transfer is completed by October 1, you will join the current year’s Prospective New Member Class. If your transfer is completed after October 1, you will be considered a Prospective-Deferred until the following year’s class begins. The JLKC staff member that completes your transfer will share your information with the New Member Education Committee as soon as your profile is complete. The New Member Education Committee will contact you at the email address provided with your transfer regarding the Prospective New Member year as soon as details and information becomes available.

SUSTAINER TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS

Sustainers are not required to fulfill any requirements but can participate in many fun programs, events, and activities. Once your transfer is complete, the JLKC staff member who assisted you in your transfer will share your contact information with the Sustainer Membership Advisor. Once notified, a member of the Sustainer community will reach out to you to provide further information.
