The Fort Bend Junior Service League is a diverse group of women that have membership privileges as either a Provisional, Active, MOPS, Professional, or Sustaining member.

Sustaining Membership
As a relatively young service organization, our sustaining members are women 50 years of age or older. The League may allow an Active member to become a Sustaining member upon completion of ten (10) years of Active service. Our sustaining group currently welcomes new members twice a year, September and January. Sustainers are voting members of the League, however they are restricted from holding office.

Active Membership
Our Active membership is composed of women between the ages of 22 and 50 that have completed all provisional membership requirements. An Active member with children under the age of five may request the Mother of Preschoolers status, which requires fewer service hours and increased dues. An Active member who works 30 or more hours per week, or who is a student taking 12 or more semester hours, may request the Professional status that also requires fewer service hours and increased dues. Actives are voting members of the League and are eligible to hold office.

The requirements for Active Membership presently include: payment of dues, perform six hours of volunteer service a month on a designated placement, volunteer four hours of service on one of our fundraising events, and attend at least six general meetings.

MOPS Status:
An Active member with children under the age of five may request the Mothers of Preschoolers status which requires fewer service hours and increased dues. This status will be chosen when yearly placements are selected. Her children's birthdates are required, and she shall revert back to full active status when her youngest child reaches the age of five and starts kindergarten.

Professional Status:
An Active member who works 30 or more hours per week or who is a student taking 12 or more semester hours may request the Professional status which requires fewer service hours and increased dues. This status will be chosen when yearly placements are selected. Her employer or class schedule is required, and she shall revert back to full active status when she is no longer employed 30 or more hours per week or is no longer a student taking 12 or more semester hours.

Provisional Membership
Our Provisional membership is also composed of women between the ages of 22 and 50 who are engaged in complying with the attendance, service, and financial requirements for admission to active membership. FBJSL holds informational meetings about the League in the spring and summer in order to welcome a new provisional class each fall. 

The requirements for Provisional Membership presently include: payment of dues and a one-time registration fee, attend the Provisional Luncheon, perform six hours of volunteer service a month on your designated placement, volunteer 4 hours of service on the Sugar Plum Market, volunteer 2 hours of service on our Pancakes & Pajamas, volunteer 2 hours of service on our Glitter & Gloss, and attend at least six general meetings.
