There are three categories of membership: provisional, active and sustainer. Provisional members are required to complete a training course designed to develop their potential as trained community volunteers. Active members are the driving force in placements which support and promote the League’s Community Vision: Working together to build a brighter future for children and families. JLIR Sustainers are a group of women who have spent years in active service. Having completed their required years as an active member, these women continue to support the League in many ways.
