Engaging Juniors in the American Legion Auxiliary: Activities and Opportunities

Juniors in the American Legion Auxiliary are vital members who contribute to community service and leadership development. To increase junior membership, units should actively organize groups, encourage sign-ups, and promote engagement through fun meetings and mentorship opportunities. Participation in service projects, the Patch Program, and scholarships helps foster skills and recognition. With dedicated efforts and creative initiatives, we can nurture young leaders who honor the legacy of veterans while enjoying camaraderie and personal growth within their communities.
