The Journey of a Lifetime JLC members may be classified into three distinct categories throughout their tenure: Provisional – First year of membership in the League. Provisionals are focused on gaining exposure to and a greater understanding of the League’s community involvement, partners, and fundraising.

Sustainer – Upon achieving Active requirements, members may transition to Sustainer status, remaining involved in League work, fundraising, and advising partners and projects.
