The Junior League of Detroit (JLD) is a local chapter of the Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI).  It was registered in 1914 as a non profit charitable organization being committed to making the city of Detroit a better place to live.  We have by-laws and operating policies/procedures (OPPs) used to govern our league. In addition, The JLD is audited once a year by an external CPA firm to ensure financial accountability and responsibility. In addition, we adhere to the following guidelines:

Data protection

The JLD’s Membership Directory (roster of members’ names and contact details,
including e-mail addresses) is for JLD members’ use on JLD business only. It may
not be used for the promotion of any activity unrelated to the Junior League of
Detroit, nor may it be used for personal gain or made available for commercial or
solicitation purposes. Infractions of this policy will be brought to the attention of the
Board of Directors and may result in termination of membership.

The following are key requirements of data protection:

• Data may only be used for the specific purposes for which it was collected.
• Data must not be disclosed to other parties without the consent of the individual whom it is about.
• Individuals have a right of access to the information held about them.
• Personal information may be kept for no longer than is necessary.
• Personal information may not be share without expressed consent.

Child protection strategy

JLD community events in which children participate are developed and run in partnership with school administrators/officials, local and/or government agencies.  The respective partners bear primary responsibility for the welfare of the participating children.  It is our responsibility to provide trained and vetted volunteers fully committed to safeguarding children’s rights and protection from abuse. The welfare of children in our community programs is paramount, and we take seriously the duty of care from JLD and our community partners. This duty extends to every JLD member participating in our community programs who must be aware of their responsibility to report any concerns.  All suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and will be responded to in a swift and appropriate manner.

Equal Opportunity

The Junior League of Detroit is an organization that supports equal opportunities and equal access to services for all. We will provide equal opportunity in service delivery regardless of ethnic origin, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, age, social class or any other preference or status protected by law.
