Becoming a Kentucky Society Junior Member

Any adult active member in good standing in the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the Commonwealth of Kentucky (Kentucky Society) may sponsor his or her children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews under the age of 18 years for Junior Membership in the Kentucky Society.  Junior membership offers an insightful and fun look into their Mayflower ancestors’ lives and history as they left their homelands, undertook a harrowing journey and experienced this new land.  They will receive a certificate of Junior Membership with their Mayflower Passenger’s name and be able to explore a variety of interesting and educational materials.

The Sponsor shall send the completed Junior application and check, to the Kentucky Historian who will assess the lineage and forward the application to the Junior Chair who will be the contact to the Sponsor or person indicated by the sponsor and will send the Junior certificate and, in time, other fun and educational materials for the Junior member.

The Juniors will become members of the Kentucky Society’s Junior Membership Program and will have the benefits of this program. They will not belong to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants and will not vote or hold office in the Kentucky Society.  When they become 18 years of age until they are 25, they may then apply for full membership in the Kentucky Society which will be submitted to the General Society for approval and membership providing the necessary proof documentation.  Their Junior membership expires on their 25th birthday.
