Job's Daughters International was founded by Ethel T. Wead Mick on October 20, 1920 in Omaha, Nebraska. It is open to girls between the ages of 10 and 20 who have a Masonic Relationship (either through a relative or sponsorship).​​ Each Bethel (chapter) meets twice a month. Meetings and activities are planned and ran by the Daughters under the supervision of the adult volunteers.

​​

Members make life-long friends across the globe, learn life skills, build confidence, and promote charitable acts.​ Parents are always encouraged to attend our meetings. While there are many traditions, there are no embarrassing rituals. Members wear Grecian robes which symbolize democracy and equality. ​​While JDI does not follow any specific religion, we do require our members to believe in a Higher Power.

 

Illinois Job's Daughters was chartered in 1922. Our jurisdiction is operated by a Grand Guardian Council and has a working Grand Bethel.​ ILJD welcomes girls of all ages, even younger than 10. Girls younger than 10 are welcome to join our Jobie-to-Bee program. This helps girls gain exposure to the organization, have fun, and meet the current members & other Jobie-to-Bees around the state.
