The important work of the League of Women Voters of San Francisco is typically carried out by its volunteer committees. Committees are made up of League members, just like you, who share their time and talent to make the League’s work possible.

Volunteer Now for the Speakers Bureau!

If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, consider the Speakers Bureau. The League provides objective information about San Francisco ballot measures to community groups. As a trained League representative, you have the opportunity to speak to schools, churches, companies, neighborhood associations, and other groups. Presentations are unbiased and inform voters so they can decide.

Do you speak Chinese, Spanish, Russian, or another language? You can help us reach out to groups whose first language is not English.

¿Desea la oportunidad de presentar información a la comunidad Latina sobre nuestras escuelas, los impuestos, y nuestros representantes locales? La Liga proporciona información imparcial sobre propuestas de ley en la boleta de San Francisco a grupos de la comunidad.

Call the League at 415-989-8683 or email lwvsf@lwvsf.org for further
