Training is What We Do!
The training The Junior League of Atlanta, Inc. provides to our volunteers is what sets us apart from other volunteer organizations. Training is at the heart of everything we do. According to our mission statement: The Junior League of Atlanta, Inc., is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.
In addition to the routine training received in their placements, we hope our members will take advantage of these additional training opportunities.
In-League Training Resources

General Membership Meetings
The Junior League of Atlanta, Inc. hosts "general membership meetings" three times a year in October, March, and May. These informative, educational, and inspirational meetings each have an educational component. We encourage all League members to attend any or all of these meetings! Interested in attending?

District Meetings
Twice a year (in fall and winter) the League hosts over 50 small district meetings which allow our members to meet League members in their neighborhood. District meetings are primarily educational and attendees learn about League events, programs, and initiatives. And they're also a lot of fun! Click here to find out more about district meetings.
Cornerstone Project
During the 2005-2006 League year, we've focused on an individual Cornerstone in each issue of our Hotline newsletter. Click here for more information on the League's Cornerstone Project.
