Networking Opportunities Within the Junior League
There are countless benefits to joining the Junior League of Chicago. Whether you’re seeking social activities, volunteer opportunities, or civic engagement, our organization offers something for everyone.
One of those benefits is through various networking opportunities which many members encounter by chance or by choice in the following ways:
- By attending our JLCU events
- Organically, from attending our social or volunteer events, held both virtually and in-person
- Searching our JLC LinkedIn Group where members can connect with other members or past members to see open job opportunities from members’ companies
JLC member Adriana Hoak recently found her latest role because of a Junior League connection, which she discussed in her interview.
“My director hired me in November because I’m a member of the JLC! During my interview, all we talked about was the Junior League!”
It’s not uncommon for members to share stories about how the Junior League helped them build out their resume or offered leadership experience that helped them land their next role or build upon their skillset. Members of the League have access to trainings in our Resource Center, including Leading an Effective Meeting, Managing Workplace Conflict, and Managing Your Budget – all helpful trainings for any career field.
