Volunteer Opportunities
|
There are a lot of ways to participate in the League. See the Participate page for some very broad ideas. However, we are often asked a very specific question: What does the League need right now? If that's your question, check out the list below.
To volunteer for one of these or just ask some questions, send an email to info@lwvchampaigncounty.org with "Volunteer" in the subject line. We'll contact you to talk more about it. |

Spread the Word about the Fair Tax Amendment
Join a letter-to-the-editor writing group to educate readers of our local area papers about why they should vote for the Fair Tax. We will meet virtually to set guidelines for the letters, vet one another’s letters and agree on a timeline to send the letters. If interested in being part of this group, send an email to info@lwvchampaigncounty.org with "Fair Tax Letters" in the subject line.

Help the League with Volunteers
There are no paid staff working for the League - everyone who helps with issues, events, programs, registration, youth outreach, news etc. are all volunteers. The League's Volunteer Team coordinates with all the team leaders to make volunteer experiences productive and enjoyable. We are match-makers - figuring out where people's interests and skills fit with what the League needs to get done. We'd also like to find more ways to acknowledge and thank the many volunteers who keep things going in our very diverse organization. Work with 3-4other volunteers to start volunteers off on the right foot! Send an email to info@lwvchampaigncounty.org with "Volunteer Team" in the subject line. VOP #033.

Get Your Name on the Contact-Me List
"I want to help with whatever is needed." That's what a lot of people are asking the League- can they do a short-term task, in person or from their homes, to help with voting, civic education or other projects? We've created a list of people willing to be contacted for short-term work, tasks that might arise fairly quickly as the election approaches.
All of these ideas are still under discussion, so you may or may not be called. Adding your name to the list means we can send you a periodic email - no obligation beyond that. If you're willing to be called, possibly on short notice, for specific tasks, send an email to info@lwvchampaigncounty.org with "Call Me" in the subject area. VOP #040
