Get Involved: Volunteer in Our Communities

Volunteer Opportunities:

Welcome! Our members make a difference in our communities. We hold events at local libraries, high schools, senior centers, farmers markets and festivals talking about the League and our mission to defend democracy and empower voters. 

At our Community Events like National Night Out and summer outdoor markets, we talk about the League’s mission and the value of membership.  With an election this November, we’ll also register voters and answer questions about the elections. 

At our Get Out the Vote / Voter Registration Events, we’ll register new voters, update registrations, help with Vote By Mail signups and answer questions about the upcoming Election.  Members are welcome to volunteer at all of our events; however, you need to attend a training session if you wish to be a Deputy Registrar and register voters. 

Sign up to volunteer by clicking on the links below.  Whenever you sign up to volunteer, you'll receive an email 2-3 days beforehand with additional event information.  

Interested in becoming a Deputy Register or have questions? Contact Melissa Nachman (312.933.3147 or mfnachman [at] gmail.com (voterservice)@wheatonlwvil.org).
