Why and how can you join our grassroots organization?

WHO ARE THE MEMBERS?

Membership in the League of Women Voters, the most respected and effective grassroots organization in the country, is open to men and women age 16 and above. Our members make a visible difference by serving as community leaders using their experience to create positive, lasting change in our communities.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN? 

Through participation in League projects, you will:

• contribute valuable service to the community

• gain knowledge and experience through the study and discussion of timely and important topics

• discover new interests, develop new skills and learn about crucial issues in your community

• make professional contacts and develop lasting friendships as you meet others in League who share your interests

HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE?

It's up to you! Many members choose to support the League only with their annual dues. Your membership alone gives us the political influence needed to build a voice for citizens and a force for change. We cover a broad spectrum of issues and concerns; you may choose to become involved in one or more of them by actively participating in a group study, or listening to a panel of experts at a meeting or just reading about them in one of our publications.

HOW DO I JOIN?

Joining the League is a great way to play an active role in your community and in our democracy! Everyone is welcome - membership in the League of Women Voters is open to anyone 16 years or older. 

When you join the League of Women Voters of Abington Cheltenham Jenkintown, you are also joining the national and state leagues. 33% of your dues payment will go to LWVUS, 47% will go to LWV Pennsylvania, and 20% will go to LWVACJ.
