National Junior Meetings

If your Junior is 8 years old or older, we want to see them at a national Junior meeting! We’re going to meet new friends, do a service project for caregivers, and have tons of fun! The meetings are on a Saturday, one in each ALA division. We can’t wait to see your Junior there! 

Is the Junior meeting right for your Junior?

• Yes - if they are interested in meeting other Junior members and national leaders outside of their local area who share their passion for helping veterans!
• Yes - if they want to share great ideas with other Junior members across the country and learn more about what it means to be a member of the American Legion Auxiliary!

Five ALA Mission Trainings and national Junior meetings are planned. They will be held at the same time and locations throughout the winter and spring.
