What is the Time Commitment?
The League of Women Voters offers a wide range of opportunities for involvement at the local, state, and national level, depending upon member availability and level of interest.
Some members support League activities with their dues alone, some attend social events and educational forums, some volunteer for time-limited projects, and some organize major projects or assume board positions. The level of involvement is up to the member.
Opportunities
There are many opportunities to be an active League member—just find your fit! You might like voter services, such as registering voters, organizing candidate forums and preparing voter information. If organizing is your skill, help with planning an educational forum. If you want to get out there and advocate, join an interest group with others who share your passion.
At the state level, you can join committees to match your interest (i.e. voter services, membership, studies, legislation and more!). Joining a study committee is a way to learn about a specific issue and pass on that knowledge to fellow members.
There are also needs for running a well-managed, largely volunteer, grassroots organization such as: accounting, programs, fundraising, planning, writing, communications (newsletters, website, and social media), public relations, organizing refreshments—whatever your skill, the League needs you!
Remember, the level of involvement is up to the member!
