  • CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS – Our New Member curriculum is designed to take between 6-12 months to complete, and our New Members join on a rolling basis year-round. As part of the curriculum, new members will learn and volunteer with all aspects of JLM, by participating in trainings, attending meetings and events, volunteering, assisting with fundraising, and paying dues.  We hold a JLM 101 class in late August/early September and again in January, as many new members join around these times. New Members are also assigned a New Member Guide, an Active JLM member who will be your point of contact as you complete your New Member requirements. Please note that full JLM year dues cover July 1 – June 30.
