Help register voters
As the nation’s largest and longest-standing grassroots voter registration organization, we work year-round to make sure all eligible Americans—especially first-time voters, non-college youth, new citizens, communities of color, and low-income Americans—have the opportunity to register and vote.
Here is the calendar that has voter registration events you can sign up to volunteer for.
Celebrate history
Arlington 250th Anniversary
The Arlington Historical Society is organizing celebrations in Arlington of the 250th Anniversary (Semiquincentennial) of United States independence. There will be a variety of volunteer opportunities from 2024-2026. We have been asked to participate in this historical event, and already have a few volunteers that will be organized into a team as this effort gets going.
Interested? Email lwvarlingtonva [at] gmail.com
With the exception of voter registration, we generally require that you be a member of the LWV to be a volunteer. That said, we have some flexibility. Contact Pam at lwvarlingtonva [at] gmail.com to talk about "try before you buy."
LWV volunteer opportunities outside our local league
- Climate: Most climate legislation is happening at the state level. If climate is your jam, join the LWV Climate Interest Group
- Fighting Mis/Disinformation: LWV Virginia in partnership with VerbAI has established a fact checking website, VerbaAI Election News, that uses AI to find political statements and check them against known and trusted sites, including Snopes and FactCheck.org. The website will be live though the November election and beyond. As a League member, you can be active in locating and submmitting questionable stories for review through the LWVVA Combat Mis/Disinformation website.
