We're more than just an organization. We're a family.

 

The Chapel Hill Service League is, and has been, so many things to so many different people. Our members come from diverse backgrounds, varied experiences, and ages, and even span generations within the same family. We love that mothers and daughters share the Service League legacy. We grow together, grieve together, and support each other. We especially enjoy spending time together. We have regular book club nights, bunco nights, and other social activities. 

 

The one constant throughout our nearly nine decades of service is our commitment to our members and to our community. Our members share a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others, just as our founding members did in 1939. With that shared desire and commitment, we are able to accomplish great things. 

​

The Service League Year

​

The Service League year runs from September to May in terms of structured meetings and projects. New members are welcome to join between August 1st and January 31st. When you join the League, the New Member Coordinators will guide you throughout your first year.  Our goal is to make your first year rewarding – both in terms of service and friendship.

​

Meetings

 

Membership meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of the month at United Church of Chapel Hill. New Members meet for a 6:00 pm pre-meeting to socialize and learn about the League. At 6:45 pm, all members join together for the General Meeting. There's always time for snacks and socializing, and we end by 8:30 pm. Meetings are informal. Feel free to come from work or the gym – any attire is welcome.

 

Volunteer Hour Requirement

​

We recognize the desire to volunteer and connect with other women while managing work and family is a carefully crafted balancing act. Our calendar provides opportunities to volunteer and socialize at varied times and days so that all members have the chance to participate.

​

All new members are asked to complete 35 hours of service during their first year and 50 hours each active year in the League. The hours are easy to acquire because League activities (including planning and committee work) are planned with busy schedules in mind. Members also have the ability to take on leadership roles within the League. We count volunteer hours on the honor system.

​

​Don't hesitate to reach out to our New Member Coordinator at membership@chapelhillserviceleague.com if you have any questions. We accept new members starting in August - you can attend one of our summertime meet-ups at a local cafe.
