The admissions process for joining the 2027-2028 Provisional class will begin October 2026. Applications will be due in February 2027. If you would like information about joining the 2027-2028 Provisional class, please fill out our new member interest form. To learn more about the admissions process, visit our Admissions FAQS page.

Membership is open to Austin-area women aged 23 to 40. A Provisional member is promoted to Active membership after completing all the requirements in her first year of membership.

These are the steps for joining:

• Fill out the new member interest form: Take the first step towards joining our community by filling out our new member interest form. Let us know why you’re interested in joining the League and if a current member referred you.

• Attend a prospective member event: Once you’ve submitted the interest form, we will invite you to attend one of our prospective member events. Join us for a social hour, a volunteer opportunity, or a virtual open house where you can learn more about our organization and have your questions about membership answered. Can’t make one of our scheduled events? Send us an email at admissions@jlaustin.org.

• Fill out an application and pay the application fee: After you attend a Prospective Member event, you’ll receive information detailing the requirements for your Provisional year. At this point, you may fill out the application form and pay a $50 application fee that goes toward your Provisional dues.

• Receive information about future events: Though your official membership with the League does not start until June 1, 2027, we will send you information about optional upcoming events, such as special incoming member shifts for you to attend and meeting other League members and incoming members.

• Sign Provisional Contract: You will receive a contract outlining the responsibilities for your Provisional year soon after you submit your application. This should be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than April 30, 2027, along with your Provisional dues.

• Pay dues: Dues for your incoming Provisional year are due by April 30, 2027. This $335 fee includes your $50 application fee as well as a $50 credit toward A Christmas Affair passes or event tickets. Payment plans are available.
