Become a Member

In 1914, the Junior League of Kansas City, Missouri, has 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 not only dedicated to making your experience as personal possible, but to provide you with information about our distinguished achievements in the Kansas City community and ensure you feel welcomed and informed of the journey to Active membership.
