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.
