We’re Empowering the Next Great Civic Leaders

We’re making a powerful impact by leading change right here in Dane County, Wisconsin. Becoming a civic leader means understanding that local efforts have a global reach — and it starts by creating leadership opportunities that put women’s skills and passion to work in our own community.

If you’re ready to develop leadership skills while working alongside a group of like‑minded women, you’re in the right place.

A Highly Respected Organization with an Extraordinary Legacy

The Junior League of Madison is proud of our historic reputation — and as society changes, we adapt and evolve. We put our values into action by serving as a powerful voice for action, justice, and change throughout Dane County.

• Member engagement
• Community collaboration
• Leadership development

Our three‑year strategic plan guides our work as we identify the top unmet needs in Dane County. We fill gaps for local organizations — offering both hands‑on volunteer power and strategic planning or financial support.

Some of our community partners include: Madison Reading Project, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Madison, and Cherokee Heights Middle School (through our Adopt‑a‑School program).

Become a Driving Force for Change

We accept new members twice a year in Fall (September) and Spring (February). Our application process will open again in December.

When you apply, you’ll kick off with our Super Saturday event (about two hours) and then enter into a cohort experience designed to connect you with fellow members and prepare you for active membership.
