I will become a member of Junior League next spring. I live in a predomintealy white state and there are a few black women involved (all of which are AKA's) and a sprinkle of Latina women. I do believe that thay are now doing a big push for young women of color. They have a lot of programs here that serve a diverse group of people which is why I felt honored when I recommended to join.
My first exposure to JL was through another community service project that I am a member of(I am the only african american or minority). Unbeknownst to me the majority of volunteers in this service project were members and they were the ones that first talked to me about it. Later on, I had a conversation with a memberfriend who was also involved in JL too. She told me, in so many words, that they were looking for young minority women with a desire to serve our community.
For new members, you are required to do A LOT so be prepared to select a committe and GET TO WORK!!!
