Junior Auxiliary membership is open to girls from infancy through age 17. The Junior Activities program prepares girls to become active adult members of the organization by providing positive volunteer experiences that instill the ideals of the Auxiliary.
ALA Junior members volunteer with other girls in their age group in many engaging activities:
Learning about patriotism and how to show respect for the American flag
Helping military families in practical ways such as mowing yards and helping military kids become acclimated at a new school
Distributing poppies and raising awareness, especially on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, so our veterans know we care about them
Practicing leadership by organizing service projects
Earning service patches while learning about ALA programs
Demonstrating responsibility for future scholarship, college, or military service applications
If you are a female ALA member 17 years of age or younger and love our country, imagine attending a regional or national meeting focused on Junior Activities with a hundred girls who could become your lifelong friends! The American Legion Auxiliary encourages young women to lead the way in continuing its legacy of serving veterans, the military, and their families.
