Community Volunteer Opportunities:

Welcome! Our members make a difference in our communities. Check here to volunteer to register voters, to distribute voting information, to answer questions about voting, and to tell people about the League of Women Voters. We attend farmers markets, festivals, and local libraries and march in parades to defend democracy and empower voters. When you sign up to volunteer, you'll receive an email 2-3 days beforehand with additional event information. 

Volunteer Opportunities

Help distribute Election Posters in our communities. We need volunteers to ask local retailers to post Election Posters. Pick a local shopping area in Carol Stream, Warrenville, West Chicago, or Winfield to ask local retailers if they would post a League Election Poster. Walk when it’s convenient for you.  Lynne & Carol walked around Downtown Wheaton, and 32 retailers said yes!
